I'm not sure if I have the right person. Karen and I met camping at Mauthe lake. We became pen pals and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with all the family and friends of Karen. She had that certain something that made a person love her and you could tell her love was genuine also. I still think of all of you and am truly sorry for your loss. One thing we can be sure of, God had a reason for taking her from us, we might not understand why but she is in a much better place now.
