@Sharon Mickey You are so right. With all that you have been through, you are HERE....living in JOY and GRATITUDE, is a great lesson for all of us; We are fortunate when HAPPINESS follows. Wishing you continued good health and love. {Caps are for HIGHLIGHTED points, not shouting, LOL}.

I was crying my eyes out when I heard the story and God bless her for being such a strong woman.. it came out good

[@tnbeznla]

I met her in the 90's right after she came to NOLA, she was a weekend reporter. A plane had a wheels up landing at Lakefront Airport. I was at a Civil Air Patrol training and I was out there when it happened. As a young guy, she was very pretty. But she has defied time and looks as good today, with so much more wisdom and experience. Some not expected, but she has come out great on the other side. Hope this takes off for her and those working to make it happen.

Please bring more of these stories!! And left us know how Karen is doing in a few months :)

[@jeannierusso2134]

Yes. I totally agree.. well my son bought one or 2. Of her candles and he said they smell really good...

[@brandonstelly6350]

To remember the career that she has lead since the 90s in New Orleans brings me joy and sadness at the same time in that I won't be able to watch her anymore on WWL. Every step of her journey in New Orleans television has made her a legend in South Louisiana.

[@sheilavidrine1750]

She has such a beautiful spirit. I wish her the best in life.

[@VEGANSAM]

What a stunningly beautiful being...inside & out.

David Begnaud is quickly becoming my favorite reporter. I want to see more stories from on CBS Sunday Morning. I think he would be perfect that show.
