Karen was my cousin, and we grew up together. In her wisdom, when the last of our parents, aunts, and uncles died (2003), she and Michelle did an amazing job of organizing a family reunion of the cousins and families. We came from all over the country for an unforgettable weekend, catching up with family members we hadn't seen for a long time. Part of her legacy is keeping family connected. She was so special.
Dave and family, I'm so sorry to hear of Karen's passing. I remember there being a lot of love in the DeNatale family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Doug & Lorie Wilber
Karen was always so full of life. We loved seeing her again at our 50th high school reunion and as always, she shared her joy and also conveyed the love of you, her family.
She will be missed by all of us from NOHS!

Michelle & family~~Words can not express how very sorry I am. I am hoping you find comfort in the fact that she is with our Lord in His Heavenly Kingdom. You will miss her every day but you have wonderful memories to help keep her alive. If you need anything let us know.
