My deepest sympathy to all the Flegar family. Karen was totally committed and involved in her sons' education and cheerfully volunteered so many times with us in Childside. Laughter and hard work was always part of her visits. She loved her boys unconditionally and would go to any lengths to support them. May warm, loving memories bring you all some peace at this very sad time. Mrs. Eileen LoPuzzo
