I was so saddened to read of Karen's recent death....she was such a wonderful help to me in all my decorating several years ago when my children were young.
Working with her was such a pleasure---she was always so "up" and had so much energy.
I hope she did not suffer....our prayers are with your entire family. She loved you al so very much!
