I'm so sad to hear about Karen. I've known Connie for over 40 years as I am a former student of hers and have kept in touch with her over the years. Karen was a wonderful person who completed Connie in every way. I remember meeting Karen and marveling at how much she makes Connie smile. Truly a perfect match. Connie, please reach out to me as soon as possible. RIL (Rest in Love), Karen.

I knew Karen because Connie and I have sung together for years. Karen was always a huge support to Connie in her joining our group, and a huge support to us, always in the audience and often for more than one performance! We will all miss her. Karen and I also bonded over the past few years discussing our impending knee surgeries and she was always one to cheer me on. Connie will miss her long time love, and I will miss her as well. Gwen
