Ms Dorothy I am just now finding out about this. I am so very sorry. If I had known I would have been there today. I haven't seen Karen in a long time but she was one of my few true friends I've ever had. My heart is breaking for you because I know how much you loved her. I will be praying for you to find some kind of comfort and peace during this difficult time.
