As a very small square in the "family quilt", I want to share how special it was to be at so many of those family gatherings. I am blessed to have had my wife and children pulled into the fold with me, but then again, that is what Karen did. My memories will always be filled with Karen's laughter and the warmth that she spread to any celebration. Her legacy isn't what she did but what she gave to so many. With love, Corey, Jill, Paddy, Conall, and Caelinn

Whenever I heard that another daughter was expecting, I always looked forward to Karen's new team name for her grandkids. I have honestly never met a person more invested in her entire family than Karen was, and that legacy is sure to live on through her Terrific Ten, her children, her nieces and nephews, and anyone who was fortunate enough to have seen her in action with her family. She was fierce, honest, and bold, and had a reverence for every part of her amazing journey through life. She will be missed greatly, and we are all better humans for having known her. Thank you, Griffiths, for sharing her with us. - Jill

Karen's light has not gone out; it continues to burn in the hearts and souls of her family and all that she touched during her lifetime. We will miss you, Karen.

My mentor

April 26, 2022
In the Summer of 2006, I began a DNP program at Case Western Reserve. My first class began in Social Policy where I met Karen. She was filled with enthusiasm, stories and great ideas. I was enthralled. Tragedy hit me on my last day of class when I was notified by familyto return home immediately because my husband was stung by a bee and in anaphylactic shock on life support. Karen kept in touch even after the death of my husband. She gently encouraged me to push forward and kindly gave me 6 months to get that first paper in. I even developed a House Bill to promote taking BP in high risk children. I went on to finish the program and receive my DNP in 2009. To my surprise on the day of graduation, I was awarded the Dean’s Legacy Award learning that Karen nominated me for my determination. I will never forget this extraordinary woman who holds a place in my heart. The world and academia has lost a special person. RIP my friend.     Kim Ballone ❤️
