I still can't quite wrap my head around this news. Karen and I were good friends back in the day and I feel sad our paths went different ways and we didn't keep in better touch. Thanks Facebook for getting us back in touch after 30 years. My deepest condolences to the entire family, especially her parents. God bless and keep you all and give you peace.

It seems like yesterday, that I babysat KK. I remember Harry would drop her off and then she would have to talk to her Daddy on the CB after he left.
She was a wonderful person and I know she will be missed by many people.
Words cannot express the sadness that our family feels at your loss. Please know that you are in our hearts and prayers.
