Karen and I were best friends from the beginning of our high school years. She was my maid of honor when I got married in 1972. We made so many memories at Folly Beach, making rounds through the drive-ins on the Dual Lane (old Hwy 52), working together at Bulwinkles Bakery and H Salt Fish Chips, and of course the endless rides through Hanahan, so many football games. Just too many to mention.
My most sincerest sympathy goes out to the family. I have you all in my prayers.
Patsy
