Morning Coffee with Karen
It's a daily video series created in memory of my wife, Karen. Over a cup of coffee, I share our journey with Glioblastoma, the realities of caregiving and grief, and stories about the incredible women behind the diagnosis. All with the hope of raising awareness, helping others, and keeping Karen's legacy alive.
Here's to you, K. XO
Made Your Mark Monday...
Every Monday, on Morning Coffee with Karen, I share someone who made their mark on the people around them; celebrating who they were, what they loved, and the legacy they left behind.
Have someone you'd like me to honor? Submit their story and help me keep their name, their life, and their mark moving forward.
