Karen Snow was a childhood playmate and friend of my older brother Steve and me. My mother, Edith Cottom Livingston (later Pendleton) and Doris were best friends, and I always enjoyed being around Doris, who was lots of fun. When my Pendleton family moved to East Drive, we lived close to the Rusty's IGA, where Doris worked. She always seemed to have a smile on her face and made me feel welcomed. I didn't get to know Gene well, but it was interesting to read his obituary. My deepest condolences go out to Karen and all the family at this difficult time. May the Lord Jesus give you His peace and comfort.
