Default Our much beloved Karen Keefer has passed away

With a heavy heart I must tell you that Karen Keefer (Ladydude) has passed away.

She passed quietly and peacefully in her sleep last night. It was sudden and not expected as she had been been doing much better.

As you can imagine Ken isn't doing well, so please keep him, Danee and Karen's children in your thoughts and prayers.

He has asked that everyone please give him some time to grieve and get things sorted out before contacting him. Ken thanks each and every one of you for your friendship with he and Karen over the years, the Pontiac world is one big extended family.

Services and information will be added as they become available.

Anyone that was at Norwalk the day Ken and Karen got married on the starting line will always remember her smile that could light up a room. She was loved by everyone that met her and was truly Ken's better half.

Karen, keep pushing that nitrous button and racing full speed ahead.

How much can one man's heart take?

So sorry, prayers sent.

Very sad news. I was at Norwalk when they got married. Lady was all smiles. Only met her once but will remember her smile. My condolences to Ken & family.
