I met Karen at Winston Churchill Junior High. She was my first real girlfriend. We continued to be friends. Terry, with the love of my life fighting cancer I have an idea of what you went through. Remember the good times and share your treasured memories of Karen with friends and family so that her spirit will live on within you. May God bless.

Karen was a good friend. We went together in the 8th Grade and remained friends throughout High School. To her family and friends, so sorry for your loss.
