Sincere condolences to Karen, Brent, Evan, and the entire Creteau family. So sorry to hear of your sudden loss. Karen, you were an amazing friend to me during very difficult times, and even though I am not near you, I am thinking of you and sending all my love. Spending time with Karen, I always heard about her family, and you are all in my thoughts. Years ago I came to dinner at Karen's Mom's house, and enjoyed all the laughter with this wonderful family! Please know that you, and Phil, are in the thoughts of many, at this time.
