Dear Ron & Family,
I'm sure you won't remember me, but I worked with Karen at
"Northwestern Bell Telephone Company" in the Steno Pool
many years ago. I was fresh out of High School (1966), and
Karen, along with Karen Ballard, took me under her wings.
I enjoyed working with her so much. I thought she was a
little doll! I believe I even remember playing canasta with
their foursome because they needed one more. I didn't know
how to play, but that didn't matter to her, they helped me
thru it!
I haven't seen Karen since then, but wanted to express my
heartfelt sympathy. I also remember how crazy in love she was
you, Ron!
My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family.
God bless & be with you ~
