I am so terribly sorry to hear about Karen. I remember her fondly from when I was a child at the family picnics. She was one of the nicest of women. I have not seen her in many years, but her kindness has never been forgotten. My sympathy, thoughts, and prayers are with her family. She will be greatly missed.
