Child of the 7th Age is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
This is a long overdue post....I look at the obituary and can only say that she was far too young.

There is one story I read I wanted to share. Karen apparently started the "Walk to Rivendell" but ill health caused her to withdraw. She did make it to Rivendell but her goal was to go beyond and "settle" in Lothlorien. Other posters participating in the run, hearing of her plight, donated their miles to her and she was profoundly grateful.

As someone who derives great satisfaction from writing RPGs and fanfiction, not a week goes by that I don't delve into her atlas for one little fact or another. I am not good with maps or visualizing distances. If I am able to have any picture in my head of where places are in relation to each other, it is only because of her excellent work. She will be missed.
