Joe and Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Karen was a wonderful friend who took me under her wing when I started volunteering at the Pantry. I was new to the area and didn't know a lot of people. She made me feel so welcome and made it easy for me to make new friends. She was a light in my life when I felt very lonely. I will miss her and remember her always. Love, Karen Griffith
