My condolences to Eddie and family. Karen will be missed greatly by many people. After losing my Mom six months ago, seeing pictures like the one I posted brings with it so many happy memories. I used to bowl with these ladies too and remember traveling to tournaments or bowling on Ladies Invitational and the friendships that were developed, surely last a lifetime. I loved hearing Karen talk and the stories she’d tell. I will miss seeing her as I miss Irene and my mother. They will all be forever in our hearts. Continued prayers to Eddie and the family - for this is a difficult time. May memories help comfort you, always.
