Karen Kuehner-Brantley

Karen D. Kuehner-Brantley, passed away peacefully at the age of 56.

Karen was diagnosed with "primary-progressive" Multiple Sclerosis n 1993. For the past 24 years, she courageously battled the effects of this disease with grace, humor and amazing courage. She was in hospice care at home with her husband and children in Aurora, Colorado. She succumbed to complications of "Sepsis" on January 14, 2018.

Karen was beautiful to look at. More importantly, she was beautiful in her heart. She was well known for her attentiveness and compassion for all people. In addition, although refined, she will be remembered for her somewhat quirky sense of humor.

Her legacy will continue with her tissue donation to the Rocky Mountain MS Center for research, understanding and hopefully a cure for others.

May her life with our Lord be like that of a hummingbird! Her wings were ready but our hearts were not.

"Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible." Matthew 19:26
