She was a wonderful teacher and I always remembered her even after moving away. She taught me to read. She was firm but fair and in today's world would have been irreplaceable. May she forever have joy with the Lord. Thank you Mrs. Vinopal for making who I am today.

My sincerest thoughts, prayers, and condolences to all of you.

Mike, Ashley & Michael,

My deepest sympathy to you all at this time of loss. Know you are near in my thoughts and prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss. Wishing you strength and peace during this hard time.

My dear friend Mike and family, my heart is broken for you. Her love for everything she touched was amazing, you were blessed. God received a beautiful angel. All our prayers and love being sent your way. The Kahle family❤️

Mike: It's been decades since I've seen you. Your wife, Karen, sounded very special. Losing someone is indescribable, so I won't try.

Take prideful solace in the fact that she spent 34 years teaching; inspiring little people!

Steve briefly told me that both Ashley and Michael live in VA. Grief is profoundly personal, but slowly struggle through this excruciating time. Lean on your Faith, your friends as well as a pair of children -- in whom you should be well-pleased. They are a living tribute to Karen and your life together.

With respect, i remain, your Ohio cousin,

Jim Crowley.

Mike, so sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Will never forget your big beautiful smile that you always wore, no matter what. The wonderful times we had together in Rockettes. I’m so glad I got to know you and call you my friend. You had the most warm and kindest heart. I shall never forget our great times we had at Titusville High School. R.I.P. Sweetheart. I promise we will meet again one day. Love, Pam McCain Davison. ✝️❤️

I’m so sorry, Mr. Vinopal.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. I can remember Karen and you in the old faculty room before remodeling. Tricia was very small and you guys were talking with her there and at a basketball game. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Hello... my name is Jessie bailor. My son Justin Nelson still remember's his teacher. Best teacher he ever had!! He said. Very kind and very passionate about the children that,she taught. My son was just diagnosed w adhd. And without her I would have never made it through that tough time. She will be missed. Sorry for your loss!

Karen was a gift to all of us. Even when we were young, her smile would fill the room and make everyone smile with her. I will never forget her delightful giggle. Our world has lost a great delight, but heaven has been enriched with another Saint. Prayers and blessings to her family and all who will feel this loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Karen’s passing. My deepest condolences to the family.

I am saddened to hear the news of one of my favorite teachers' passing. Karen was my 4th grade teacher at Hydetown Elementary and was so loved that my best friend and I actually attended her wedding so many years ago. I'll remember her smile and compassion the most. She made a difference in my life and many, many others I'm certain. My deepest condolences.
