Dave and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved Karen. I met Karen at your farm last summer and she was very gracious towards my sister (Jeannie, Steve's friend from Pgh) and I. My hope is that you may find comfort in knowing she is out of pain and discomfort and resting peacefully in the arms of our Lord.
