Dear Terry and Family,

I worked with Karen at SunTrust (and when it was still SunBank) in TeleBank/PCBanking. Karen and I hit it off right away (having a San Diego connection) since I lived in Carlsbad for many years. I just heard the news tonight and I offer you my deepest condolences. She always spoke so highly of you and your children- she adored her family. Please know you have a guardian angel watching over you from heaven.
