We just read of Karen's death in the the Vanderbilt magazine. We were so very sorry to learn that you had lost her. Our memory of Karen & Ethan goes back to the night of our graduation in 1973. Please know that we think of you often and hope for you to find peace.

I am so sorry to hear about Karen´s passing. We worked at Vandy together for many years. We were never in the same office but often collaborated and I know that she is missed there. May she Rest In Peace and praying for your peace.
