Karen is my cousin, the daughter of my father's youngest sister Betty. We were closely associated as children and lived near each other for a brief time. I remember a sweet and gentle person with a caring heart. We visited in Santa Barbara a few times over the years, but otherwise communications was rare.
Karen was easy to love but hard to know. I wish we could have been closer, both physically and as family.
