Karen went to be with our Lord two days before my 79th birthday and this one hit closer to the heart. We first meet in third grade on the playground and I found out she was a great sprinter and hard to catch within 50 yards. Did catch her in our senior year as my Prom date. Reconnected the summer before our senior year in college and kept in touch until I went off to the Navy. Life is full of twists and turns, and the Lords plan for us isn't always what we expect, but the memories are valuable. Blessings to the family Karen leaves behind.Clara Eggert (Eckelmeyer) (1962)
So sorry to hear of Karen's passing. She was always a fun and great lady. I went to church with her brother and his wife many years ago at Cornwells Methodist. They all were the nicest family.
