Online condolences may be expressed to Karen's family by visiting her obituary at www.esterdahl.com.
God saw her getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around her and whispered, "come with me." With tearful eyes we watched her, and saw her pass away. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating; hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Therese Williamson
