Dear Janice,
We’re sorry to learn of the passing of your beloved sister Karen. We enjoyed the time spent together with the two of you in our class a few years ago. God bless you at this difficult time.

Although I only saw Karen infrequently she was always happy to meet again. Always in a cheerful mood I also enjoyed her humor. I will always remember her astute commentary on many subjects. She left the planet too early and will be missed.
