To all of the family, I’m so sorry to hear about Karen’s passing. We haven’t seen each other since my mom’s passing. I will always cherish our childhood memories. Cutting out paper dolls out of the Sears catalog at Poppy’s and Granny’s house in the middle bedroom. Memories are precious keep them close to your heart.
Love and prayers for all.
