Tributes
"It was a shock to see the news that Karen has died. But wanted to share with you my memories: I have some pictures of our teen years together which I will be happy to send to those who would like them. One of my pictures is of Karen on my front porch on Conner - we were having a party - Gary Wagler was hiding his face from the camera, but what a smile Karen had! Karen, Judy Richards and I were a threesome! We shared some of the same battles and griefs - and we loved to have a good laugh. I had lost contact with her after Parrish was born, to my regret. My love and prayers go out to each of the family. Lois Martin Vice 62 Hughes Rd New Waverly TX 77358 cell 713 382 6834 lois_vice@yahoo.com"
