I would like to extend my sympathy to the family of Karen. I lived on 13th street growing up, and the whole family were my friends. I was very close with her when we were young. Over the years we all lost track of each other. I just wanted you all to know my heart goes out to you all. If you could drop me a note, to let me know how you are all doing it would be wonderful. May God give you all strength in your time of sorrow. My address is as follows 639 Osage Rd. Valparaiso, IN 46385
With much love,
