Not sure what to say?

I am Jody Morris, who was a second Cousin of Karen's, her Mother (Aunt Ginny) was very close to my Mother - June Ivy Heckman (Chivinski). They were First Cousins. New Karen as children and enjoyed our time together. My deepest sympathy to her family.

I am a second cousin to Karen, her mother was a sister to my grandmother. I am so sorry to hear of her death, and frequently over the years have wondered what her life was like. I am happy to hear she married and had two daughters, who will miss her greatly. Rest in peace, Karen.
