Dear Karen, sadness and sorrow, for so many reasons, is all I feel. Even though we were not able to remain close over the past 18 years, we were blessed with a wonderful relationship for the first 30 years which I will always remember fondly. Know that I cannot be with you at this time to honor you in the manner you so deserve. I will however, be with you in spirit. God bless you!

Tearfully and lovingly, your sister-in-law Carol
