My deepest sympathies to the Adshade Family and beyond, particularly Dan, Lea, Sammy, and the kids as I know how devastating this loss has been for you.
When I think of Karen I think of her infectious laugh always playful and inviting self with a much needed side of sass. One day at her place of work Nordstrom, I heard this boisterous laugh and I instantly knew it was Karen. She greeted my son, friend, and I with so much warmth and attention showing us all the latest fashions … many of which she had already purchased for her grand babies of course. As we said our goodbyes my friend turned to me and said, “Wow, she’s such a lovely human hey!”. Indeed she had brightened our day.
Another fond memory I have of Karen is on what I believe was either my 16th birthday or Highschool graduation. She and her husband Dan invited my family and I over for the first time. They gifted me with this beautiful leather picture box and frame and I distinctly remember feeling very seen and celebrated as you could tell she had put a lot of heart into that day. It was in that moment I could see why my brother fell in love with Lea’s family. She always took great care of him. Karen you will be missed dearly but never forgotten. May you rest in peace with much love May, Neal, Kellan, and Cierra ❤️
