(Quando il gatto non c'e, i topi ballano.)...when the cats away, the mice will play.

Welcome to our Web site, established to celebrate and remember the life of Karen Sclafani. We lost Karen February 7, 2004 soon after she gave birth to our baby daughter, Aryana Karen Maffly. Karen's passing has left a gaping hole in the lives of the many people she touched. While traveling the world and enjoying life to the fullest, she made lasting friends and inspired people wherever she went. Karen's spontaneity, bottomless sense of humor and her all-out devotion to fun made life an adventure for her. Her mom Tina would always say, "If I could live just one day of Karen's life …" Karen got in a lot of living in her 37 years. The five and a half she shared with me were a great gift that I will always treasure.

We miss her so much. This Web site tells her story. We invite you to share your memories and photographs of Karen.

Enjoy,
Brian Maffly
