So sorry to hear of Cousin Karen's passing. We grew up together but life kept us apart for many years. She loved her family more than anything I know. I met them through her messages because I live out of state. She was so proud of each and every child, grandchild and great grandchild. Karen and I shared many memories and It's so sad to lose her. My sympathy to all the family.
