Amy and Jason, My heart goes out to you both. I have very fond memories of Karen sitting across from me and Dave in your living room watching us kiss and she would say, "David!" She did it every time...She was a very special person. Your Mom would be proud of the love and care you both gave to her. I Love you both, and will keep you in my prayers.
