    Bob and Craig.. words can not express the hurt one goes through during a loss of a loved one… may you be able to deal with this loss a little less each day knowing the memories will be there forever… I had the pleasure of knowing Karen.. she was a very funny but some what serious person… she could make you laugh when I don’t think she was trying to… she will truly be missed…but never forgotten. ..prayers for the whole family.
