I just found out about your loss. I was in Havana and wanted to see how Randy was doing and to see about Karen as well. Was shocked to find the house empty and the fact that Karen was gone.
I have some very fond memories with her, and you Athena as well. Remember the lipstick?? I relate that often and will never forget your response. You both were very dear to me. I don’t do well with Email so If you have opportunity please write me or call me.Marilyn Bale, 29988 E. Manito Rd., Manito, Il. 61546 Phone: (309) 968-6931
