Ive known Karan since I was in kitndergarden. She was my moms very best friend and the only sister she ever had. Karen protected her loved her spent every day at the factory with her and Mary night socializing together. Karen dressed up on Halloween for moms birthday and drove 45 miles out into the sticks because thats the kind of friend she was. Ive been calling her to check in on her and I love to hear her laugh and cuss out the doctor for not letting her drive when I asked her why she told me it was no big deal she just run over a few things and hit a few cars and then she laughed that wonderful wonderful big laugh. When my mom died Karan was the one I wanted to be near and so I kept in touch with her she and mom had a friendship for 40 or 50 years and I cant believe shes gone I loved her with all my heart, As did my father my sister and everyone in our family. I cant believe it I just cant believe it
