Debbie and Rick,
I am so sorry to hear that Karen had passed. She and I made many teen memories that still make me shake my head in wonder of how we ever survived. Though I didn't get to see her much, I still considered her a close friend. She will be sadly missed here, but I am sure she will be greeted by your Mom, Tommy, and many others, with open arms. I will keep you both, and the family in my prayers.
