I was in the same graduating class as Karen. She was one of the kindest sweetest people I knew. Karen loaned me her formal to wear to the only prom I went to. We lost touch over the years but I always had a warm space in my heart for her. Ted was the love of her life. Karen was one of those who you could say that when God made her, He broke the mold and threw it away because she was perfect. I'll always remember her fondly.
