Karen was a very sweet lady and will be missed. I remember the times you used to bring her up to see my grandma (Roxie Clark) and aunt Cora. They are now at rest as well and I hope they are having a fine reunion in heaven. I pray that you are comforted in her loss; I still miss Tom as well. Thank you for being so faithful and caring to Karen. All Tom's cousins in Salem miss her too.

Karen was a part of the 1959 graduating class from LHS. Our class has been very close through the years. Karen and I communicated via emails often. It is always sad to lose a classmate. My deepest sympathy to her family.
