Mr. and Mrs. Whitehead and the Faulk family My Dad, Mr. Springer didn't realize that Karen was your daughter until I told him. He asked me to convey his deepest sympathy and to let you know that he will be making a donation to the research foundation you requested. Karen was a beautiful person and she will be missed by all who knew her. May God Bless you all and bring you peace at this time. Harold Springer, Sr. and family

My condolences to Allen,Debra and the whole extended family.When our sons were in Cub Scouts in the early eighties we worked pretty close together to get that program on the right track at Jane Long .We succeeded.I credit a lot of that to Karen & Allen and their commitment to our children. If you saw Karen,Allen was not too far away and vice versa.They were as devoted a couple as you'll ever see. I can say without any hesitation that Love lived in their house..

Allen, the Faulk and Whitehead families,
I am very saddened by the loss of Karen. I went all the way
through school with her, K-12, and consider her one of the nicest girls I knew.. I was honored in high school when she asked me to be her date to a formal young people's event at her church. It was always a pleasure to get to see and visit with her at class reunions. I have nothing but good memories of her.
May God strengthen you in your loss and in the knowledge that Karen is in the presence of God and her Lord and Savior.

Karen and I not only worked together at Griffith ES but we became friends. The Griffith office was known for its colorful decorations.....half of the office was maroon and the other half burnt orange. She and I shared so many talks on husbands, children, parents, siblings and other "girl" things. She was very supportive during my illness and I will never forget that. I will miss her dearly. She'll live in my thoughts, prayers and in my heart.
Manuel and I would like to express our deepest sympathy to Allen, Jeff, Terry and the rest of the Faulk and Whitehead family. Love you.
