Sandy and family, I am so sorry for your loss. When I joined the Pediatric practice with Dr. Ziska as our leader, Karen ran the front staff and scheduling crew with a firm hand. She was smart and funny and she didn’t take any guff from anyone! Sandy, you started me on my love of hostas when you gave me some at a picnic we hosted at our house on O Avenue. I hope you have many good memories and funny stories about Karen. Rest in peace. Sarah Wickenkamp, MD

Jill and Connor, I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. I remember serving on a church committee with her years ago—she was such a passionate and dedicated woman. I also recall how faithfully your grandparents brought you to church; what a lasting gift they shared with you. May the peace of God’s grace surround you as you remember her. With love, Your former Sunday School teacher, Claire Atwood
