  2. So very sad to hear about Karen’s passing! She was a wonderful person who cared for all, and animals of all kinds. I had the pleasure of knowing her during her time at Manual Woodworkers & Weavers in Hendersonville. She was always on the side of justice and right, looking out for others. I know she will be greatly missed by her family.
