My parents and Tom and Karen knew each other in high school. Their paths crossed again when Dad and Tom were on the same ship heading to the Philippines in the service. They crossed paths once again when Tom and Karen moved in a few houses down on Truwood in Rochester Hills. Karen was a great neighborhood Mom and a nice neighbor. We missed them when they moved away. We are sad to hear of her passing. Condolences to Tom and the boys.
