Joe, Nancy, Stacey, and Andrew...I worked with Karen way back in the "Shawmut" days in "Edwards" before all the name changes...I remember your "courtship" Joe, and how much fun we had teasing Karen (in a loving way) and watching her turn "red" when you came around...I remember finding out about you, Andrew, and even though I never met you, I know how much she wanted and loved you...Nancy and Stacey, I don't know if you remember me, but I was the "clown" in the group that worked with Karen...you are all in my thoughts and prayers...and I am so grateful to know of the ressurection hope we have in Christ Jesus...may the love of friends bring you comfort and faith in God bring you peace
