On this anniversary of Karen's passing, she still remains fondly in our hearts and minds. Despite the fact that we had our differences at one point, I will always remember her as beautiful, kind, and pleasant, as well as a great wife to my dear life long friend Bob. May she be at eternal rest.

Our most sincere condolences to Bob and the kids at this very tough time. I'm pretty sure I was with you Bob on the night you met Karen at Cole's over 30 years ago. Who would have ever thought that night that you would end up marrying such a wonderful woman. I'll always remember Karen as a kind, beautiful, fun loving, great person, whom I know was a fantastic mother and wife to the kids and you. Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. Karen will remain in all of our hearts and minds forever. P.S. Knowing that I only live about 20 minutes away, please be sure to let me know of anything we can do for you. Skip & Bonnie.
