Karen loved many things in this world.  She was an avid reader.  She could always spark a conversation about a book or article that she had read and what was on her mind.  She also knew and loved the plants in her garden and tending to her yard.  And, although she was a petit woman, she could not be left alone with chocolates or sweets lest they all disappear!
