Posted on: Monday, May 18, 2026Karen was a wonderful and friendly face when I first started working for a new bus driving company. Helped me get to know there others I worked with and was always ready to bring on a laugh or help problem solve a solution. I will miss seeing here every morning and afternoon when we drop off and pickup the kids from school. Rest in peace dear friend. I will miss you and never forget you.
