My deepest sympathy to the family. Karen and I had great times at work and our Christmas parties. Her joy for life was outmatched by no one.
So sorry about your mom Bryan. Thinking of you, your dad and Heather. ????❤️????
Uncle Dick, Bryan, Heather, and family: Our family trips back home to Chicago at Christmas and throughout the years hold precious memories for me as a child. This family laughed so hard and enjoyed each other so much. Aunt Karen is a big part of those memories. I trust you are finding rest knowing she is celebrating Jesus in heaven along with family. We will remember you this week as you prepare to celebrate her life and in the weeks ahead.
May the peace of God enfold you like a warm blanket during these difficult, cold times.
I shall always remember all the laughs and fun at work, the parties, the picnics, the fun times. You have joined many other angels(family and friends) in heaven. Peace to the family.
While our hearts are heavy with the loss of dear Karen, we know that she remains with us forever and will never be forgotten. She taught us all what it means to never give up and persevere through whatever difficulties one must face in life. May you Rest In Peace we love you!
Our prayers and thoughts are with the Maiman family.
