Notes

• It is unclear whether Gallagher is Karen's middle name or her maiden name. However, her brother's last name is Gallagher, so it is likely her maiden name.
• Karen was born in January, 1975. The exact day in January is difficult to read on her tombstone, though the two digit number begins with a 2.
