Mj and Natalie. You may not remember me. I helped y'all move to Daetroit from Melbourne in 1981. Karen was a special person to me, then and now. You both have my deepest sympathy. George

My friend of over 20 years, how I miss you. So many thrift stores, yard sales, square dances and "Old Ones" shows Country Church services and just hanging out. We enjoyed our time together. It wasn't supposed to be this way. The memories will always be there. . Richard
