The following message was provided by Karen's mother, Charlotte Gordon. Karen was the eldest of our two daughters, full of fun and devoted to her family, especially her sister Kim. She was employed with MT&T, but more than a career, she wanted children. Karen loved music and singing with the Scotianaires; she was killed on the way to chorus practice by a repeat offender. Life would be so different if she were here; instead we have broken hearts and life without her.
