They then welcomed a Baby boy Harold Hoard III who was the light of their life. The two shared 26 beautiful years together before his untimely death.
Karen attended Miami Dade College receiving her AA in Nursing. She went on to work at a nursing home Villa Maria for several years before ending her nursing career at Miami VA Medical Center.

Karen made it her life mission from that moment forward to live the upcoming remaining years, faithful to God. Along the way, she has met dozens of friends, some who've become family.
