Karen and I met at St. Andrew School. We grew up in the 50’s, which really was the best time to live. I would like her family to think about her young and healthy. Enjoying every Friday night at Lemay Show, walking everywhere, lots of friends, laughing and talking together. Because she never lost her zest for life and her children continued to give her vitality and that youthful energy throughout. I am so sorry for your loss. She had boundless love for her family.
I am so thankful to have spent time with her a few years back while on vacation. What a sweetheart and I’m glad to have her as my cousin! She will be missed!
