Sorry that I didn't know about this. Jr. And Crech were my child hood neighbors. My dad thought of them like they were his own kids. I did talk to her about 6 years ago and she was the same happy person that I had known. I hope that Karen and her family have healed from the loss. This being the first Christmas without her has probably been difficult. Her memory will help to get through. Lewis Haney
