I met Karen and her family for the very first time this past Friday, my team bowled against her team and I just have to say they were the nicest family ever. They were there to laugh, have a good time and support one another and they were even supporting our team!! What an inspiration their whole family is. It was so very sad to hear of Karen's passing. Thoughts and prayers to all of her friends and family!!
