I knew Karen a long time ago and briefly, but she was a really nice person who cared deeply about her family. My middle son said she must have been pretty special to raise such a nice young man, Eric. We send our most sincere condolences for such a great loss to you and your family.

Karen was a very caring and compassionate teacher who understood her students' needs. She was always able to see the big picture and taught the whole student. We were very lucky to have worked with such a wonderful person. She will be missed. Sincerely, The East Lyme Teachers Association.

So sorry for your loss. Karen is home and at peace with our Heavenly Father. She always had a smile on her face and a hello when we passed each other in the halls in high school.

I had the privilege of working with Karen at Coastal Connections for a couple of years. She will be remembered as a delightful woman who cared deeply and I'm sure made a difference in the lives of many young people. God bless you, Karen and may you rest in the Lord's eternal peace. You will be missed by many.

With heartfelt condolences,

Fred Willson

Hollingsworth family,

I'm very sorry for your loss, may you find comfort in those that support you in this difficult time and may Karen rest peacefully in Heaven. I'm blessed to know Andrew as my friend and I'm sure she was a good person just like him. God bless and I'll pray that you heal and that Karen remains close in spirit.
