I am shocked to hear the news.

I first met her at my first international FT Do. Along with other FT people. Karen always had a great smile and always great to be around. A very gentle and sweet woman. She will be missed as part of the FT family.

My condolences to her family.

This was taken in one of the ATL SkyClubs. I was fortunate enough to spend time with Karen at a few DOs. A lovely, classy woman. She'll certainly be missed by everyone, including her FT family.

So sorry to learn of Karen's untimely passing.

Karen always brightened every room she entered and was truly a joy to spend time with. My sincerest condolences to her family & many friends.

Unhappy

Punki and I first met Karen at the Venice Do, and saw her at numerous ones after that. Our condolences go out to her family. R.I.P. Karen.

Very sad news. I had the pleasure of meeting Karen about three years ago on a flight. She was very kind and we kept in touch after. Terrible news. She will be missed.

Karen was such a kind, wonderful person. I didn't have the opportunity to meet her husband, but also enjoyed her company and friend at many events. For those in contact, please express my sympathies to her family and friends.

And you have hung out with some motley crews, BOB W. As have I.

But Karen could "unmottle" the best of us with her smile and kind, friendly way.

I only had the pleasure of meeting KLC during OzFest #7 in Adelaide, and to hear this news this morning i'm more than a little saddened.

I had the pleasure of guesting her in post-event to the ADL QP on her way home, where both KLC, De-De and myself had the pleasure of some sparkling repartee before our respective onward flights.

My condolences to her family and those in the FT and #freqflyer communities at large who knew her better than I did. Such a nice person and a sad loss.

It is true, I have hung out with the most motley, many of them multiple times

It was truly a joy to be able to spend time with Karen. Our "Sideways Do" was the last time we were together and it was a very nice trip with Karen and Alex joining us.
