Karen, Mom, Grandma...
You are missed terribly and loved completely.
Here is the eulogy that Chris gave at the funeral mass:
We love our Mom. We have seen over the past few days how much others loved her as well. That makes sense, because she was such a loving and caring person. She loved passionately and fiercely. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do to protect those she loved, from Mike her "big guy" to Jimmie and Jared, her "little guys."
She also loved life. She loved to laugh and to make others laugh. Her laughter could turn the worst day right around. Since I started working at the college a few years ago, I've been able to have lunch with Mom and Dad a few times each week. Mom had a way of making me feel like I'd been on a mini vacation, rather than a half hour lunch break.
Mom loved to dance. I can still see her pulling in our driveway dancing to a song on the radio - especially her favorite song, "Pump up the Jam."
Even with the large family and extended family we have, Mom made each of us feel special and loved. Her legacy will be the close bonds we all share and the love we all have for each other. Her memory will be kept alive by her children and grandchildren. Mom, we will never forget you. You are a beautiful angel...

She'll be missed terribly by the Scarpulla family.
