Karen was one of the most caring and kind people I have ever known. Her creativity and gentle spirit were a constant inspiration to me and all who knew her.
On behalf of the Grand River Spinners and Weavers Guild, of which Karen was a cherished member, we offer our deepest sympathy to all of her family. She will never be forgotten...

Leo & all the family- we are so saddened to hear of your beautiful Karen’s passing

So very sorry. Such a gentle and caring person. I cherish the time I spent with her and the lessons she taught me. Take care. Kathy Evans

My sincerest sympathies to all the family. Karen has left beautiful footprints on my heart.

I was both shocked and saddened to hear the news of Karen's passing. Leo, Cathy, Jacqueline and the entire family, my thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you during this difficult time. R.I.P Karen...fly with the angels

Sending my most heartfelt condolences to Karen's loved ones. I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with her, a day doesn't go by where I don't recall on some wisdom or anecdote given to me by Karen, be it gardening, weaving, motherhood, cooking, or cultivating a calm mindset. She was the best kind of person and left an indelible mark on those of us privileged to know her.

I am shocked and saddened to learn of Karen's passing. There are not sufficient words to capture the beautiful spirit and exceptional kindness that she exuded. A gentle soul, so genuine. She left a positive impact on those she met. My heart goes out to Leo and the family as your journey continues. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs.

My condolences Leo & family on Karen's passing she was a beautiful lady.i know she will be missed. R.I.P

My most sincere heartfelt sympathy to Leo and all the family. There really are not enough words to express the sadness that Karen's passing has caused. She truly was a one-of-a-kind special person and there is a very huge hole in my heart now. I like to think that she's now strumming her guitar and/or banjo and singing along with her newfound angel companions and the rest of the family that's she's with now. I hope they're singing some "hurtin'" songs and some of the good old German ones too.

Singing in heaven now, weaving harmonies with her parents. May the circle be unbroken. Our condolences to Leo and family. A great loss of a very special person.

I am sending my heartfelt condolences to Karen’s friends & family. We were “Spin Sisters” that met weekly once apron a time. Karen was our calming influence & so very creative! We will miss her!

Our hearts go out to Leo, Cathy, Jacqueline, Cherie, Jeanette, and all of the family. We too are at a loss in expressing our shock and sadness at the loss of someone we considered a kind, gentle and wonderful soul. We also believe and console ourselves with the thought that she is now smiling her smile and laughing her laugh while singing along with her mom who is strumming her guitar and her dad who is playing his harmonica, and all of the music loving family that have already left us.
Joe & Marlene Kreppner

Our sincere condolences to all of Karen's family. She was a gentle soul who will be missed dearly.
Larry and Kim Huffman

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

Our deepest condolences to you Leo and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families ❤️

On behalf of all the entire Hagan family I’d like to share our sincere and deepest condolences to Leo, Cherie and Jeanette. Also to Jacqueline and Cathy. Your family has always been so special to myself and to my parents especially growing up next to you guys. Karen is honestly one of the most sweetest and caring persons I have ever met. She was exactly like both your mom and dad. Biggest smile ever and I’ll defiantly miss her. Please know we are thinking of you all and sending love to everyone. ❤️❤️❤️

My sincere condolences to Karen’s family and friends. Such a loss of a special and warm person and gentle soul, who was always smiling.

She will be missed.

We are so very sorry to hear of Karen's passing. Earth lost a beautiful soul. Heaven gained a beautiful angel. Our sincerest and deepest condolences to all. May Karen's memory be a blessing.

So sorry leo and family our sincere condolences

A tender soul is singing her heart out with our already departed musical family members. Karen’s empathy, courage and uplifting spirit will be remembered always along with many treasured “cousin” memories from childhood and beyond. My deepest condolences Leo, Cathy, Jacqueline, Cherie, Jeanette and your families. In keeping with Karen’s beautiful smile, the lyrics of Nat King Cole’s song “Smile” come to mind. Rest in peace beloved Karen, Namaste

Leo and family. It was with great sadness to hear of the loss of dear Karen. She was a bright light….beautiful inside and out and a wonderful person, teacher (yoga) and a special mentor and friend to me. We in the yoga community are grieving but sharing fond memories of our time spent with Karen. May loving memories help you through this most difficult time.

We're very sorry to hear of Karen's passing. Unfortunately, we just found out today. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Leo and, to all of your family.

I am Deeply saddened and shocked at Karen's sudden passing.
My heart goes out to you Leo and the family. She was a fantastic person and will be deeply missed.

I don’t use this moniker often, but in light of the cousin connection it seems wholly appropriate. Karen and I were two of five born in 1954 and shared many a laugh, adventure and quiet moment. We both squished into the back of her dad’s Volkswagen Beetle while he drove us around the field. Aunt Mae fretted. We rode our bikes down the Streetsville hill and soundly wiped out. My mom and her dad were not amused to see us bleeding and limping along the Fifth Line. On another occasion, we tobogganed down their front yard hill, over the ditch, across the road and into the field. Thanks Uncle Fred for building an awesome ramp that gave us the speed we needed to complete the ride. Of course, one had to look left and right at the start for cars!! Every day together ended in the backyard swing.

Leo, Cathy, Jacqueline, Cherie, Jeanette and your families, look after each other with the kindness, love and gentleness Karen exuded. Jim and I pray for your comfort as you navigate the coming days and weeks.

Our sincere condolences to all of Karen's family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Karen will be remembered for the kind gentle soul she was and her big beautiful smile.
Veronica and Michael Higgins

Leo - Flora and I want to pass along our deepest condolences to you and all Karen’s family on her very sudden and shocking passing. We both spent much time with her at her wonderful yoga classes, listening to her soft calming voice guiding us through the various routines. Her knowledge and personality was so beneficial for all her students who were trying to better themselves. Karen was a beautiful role model for how one should live a good life. She will always be in our hearts.

Our paths crossed a number of years ago, as I have such a love for yoga and she, my guide. Although I've known her for a short time recently her memory came to me, prior to my knowing of her passing. Now that it is the time of harvest, one day after an outdoor yoga session, she offered the bounty from her garden to anyone who wanted some. I did. Yellow beans will always bring back her memory to me. I know she is a beautiful, kind & generous soul and I send my condolences to her family.

Leo and all the family we extend our condolences on the passing of Karen. Keep your memories close to your hearts.

Leo and family…It’s with heavy hearts that Yolande and I write this note of condolence. Karen was one of a kind.
We have had many teachers and Karen was one of the very best.
She had a special presence, was knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind and sincere. Overall, a wonderful person.
Karen will be in our thoughts and prayers as well as you and your family.
Our sincere condolences, David & Yolande

I am so very sorry to hear of Karen's passing. She was an inspiration and mentor to me during my yoga teacher training. She was also a wonderful artist, and I have a beautiful drawing she gave me that I treasure, and that will remind me of her always. Sincere condolences.
