I am thinking of you JB and the girls. I will always remember how gracious and talented Karen was when I first met het at the Greater Portland United Way back in the late 90's. She was wonderful. You two were both fun to be around as well. Lisa Smith who took care of the girls and the dogs while you lived in Freeport also sends her condolences.
Sorry for your tremendous loss.
