I am sorry to hear about the passing of Karen. We were the Etna girls, Karen, Margie Kulbacki, Ginny Merzlak. We had many good times in high school and of course all of the memories at The Grove. She was good friend with a big heart. Rest in peace until we meet again.

I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one, we look forward to the time when words will fail to capture the joy of having our heavenly Father return your dear one to you. Your family and friends have my deepest condolences.
