So sad! I knew Karen as a youngster(Horses). So full of life, bouncing bundle of energy, smart as a whip with a quiet sense of humor. I am not at all surprised she went on to do great things.
My condolences to the family.

For quite some time. The Featherstone family of girls would show up in our yard on the horses,always so much fun
For them…a quick dip in the lower lagoon,and a trot through the neighborhoods ‼️
Rest in peace sweet Karin, I hope Rachael was there with open arms❣️
