My sincerest condolences to you and the family.
Karen was a bright light to all us.
Her love of art, language, travel, dance and yoga was truly inspirational.
Karen was my yoga instructor for many years. She taught me that I "did not need to stand on my head or turn my body into a pretzel" to enjoy yoga practice.
She truly put her students at ease with her gentle soul.
I also enjoyed attending plays, musicals and concerts with her.
I am a better person for having her as a friend, and for that I am grateful.
She will be missed.
Condolence: I was a former [retired] co-teacher at LAUSD. Karen and I were friends at this location. We shared amusing stories about our lives... and shared many laughs also. I so admired her bilingual brilliance and spirit. Though we lost contact when I was transferred I considered her a dear and decent person. My condolences to her family. RIP forever.
