Sam, her youngest was in the same year as my little brother. I remember as a child going away to the Isle of Wight and bumping into the family in our resort. He was so happy, and they were all lovely people. I had often bumped into Karen and asked about her boys as J was often in the same classes. She was always bubbly, friendly and will be missed I am sure. My thoughts are with all of their family at this time. Hannah

I only knew Karen for a short while - during my time as Chair of Fitz PTA. She was a very kind & helpful lady & was always asking about my disabled son. I am totally shocked to hear this news and can only send her family my condolences & hope they are able to support each other through this tragic time. June Wratten
