My condolences to the family. I taught with Karen at Stevenson MS in HISD. I loved just sitting and talking with her at lunch. She was a great lady and will truly be missed.

To my sweet best college friend. I will always remember how much fun we had. You were the Godparent to my children and a vibrant, expressive and lovely person. My love to your family, especially your Mother, your sister and children. I have such fond memories of life in school, life after marriage and life after children. I remember your Mother, your Sister, your Dad and your children. Just as you would have remembered mine. You were, for a time, the most important friend in my world.
