To the Bradley Family,
No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
I remember Karen as I worked at a local Dr's office. Karen would come in for a special test. Later,our office moved to Memorial Hospital, she would make a special request for me to do her test. She felt comfortable with me. Gladys Turner and family

To the Bradley Family, I would like to express my sincere sympathy. I remember my Grandmother Katie talking lovingly of Karen when I was a child. Just as all of you were, Karen was such a special part of her life.

Dear Riette, Deannie and family,
It was 1967, my parents lived on 61st Street and you in Sylvan Terrace. Every afternoon your nursey would take your adorable daughter for a ride in her stroller. I would hurry outside with Jeff, so he could see beautiful "Baby Karen." She was always dressed so nicely in her pink smocked dresses and bows in her hair.
Karen was a very lucky young woman to have had a family who loved and took such wonderful care of her. I haven't seen her in many years but, I will always remember our meetings on Bull and 61st Street.
My love and sympathy is with you.
