Terry,

My heart goes out to you and the family - Karen was far too young to lose.

Krista is with me this weekend and she asked a lot of questions about how we all knew each other. It was a wonderful opportunity for me to articulate the memories shared with Karen and you over the past 25 to 30 years. Telling stories and reflecting on memories is a healing process that you will draw on over the next many weeks and months. Karen was always happy and smiling - I can remember her laughing while you and Hadley told golf and Kodak stories - she took all the shenanigans in stride.

I hope to be able to join you for the celebration of life in September. Please call me if you want long distance support - I am here for you.

Love, Cindy
