Karen - I have so many wonderful memories of our dear friendship, which I hold close to my heart. My life truly changed the day you passed, but I get great comfort knowing you’re cancer free now. Heaven truly received one of its most caring and courageous angels on July 10th! I love you and look forward to seeing your smiling face again someday. Thank you for your unconditional friendship. I will always miss you and promise never to forget you.
