Rest in Peace, Karen

By Dr. Steve Garber

Rest in peace, my friend.

A good woman has come and gone, and the world is a poorer place. Last night, Karen Goodwin died, and those who know her, grieve. Not all of us leave our fingerprints on history in the way that she did-that could not be with our different lives and labors -but her vision, energy and gifts have made all of us richer people, even better people. In her own ordinary, and yet extraordinary way, she lived a life that was a common grace for the common good.
