"Steve, Nadine & Max, Just wanted to let you all know you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers. This reminds me so much of mom passing. I have a pretty good idea of what you are going through right now, know that with time it does get easier. Though I know it feels like there is a whole in your heart right now. Karen is with God now and has a brand new body! I know that it is hard on us who are left here to rejoice about this right now, but hope it will give you more comfort as time goes by. Love & Prayers, Debbie"
