I enjoyed working closely with Karen for 3 years in the1990's. She was a very special person.
So sorry for your loss.
We want to send of love to you during this time
I know she was struggling in the end and is now at peace
But it still is hard.
We have so many wonderful memories of she and your dad at the many gatherings through the years
I always think about her beautiful gentle smile.
And how we found out we were actually related
So glad we are family
Know we are here!!
Love
Len Kathy and Anna
