I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband and father. Karen was my best friend as a child and up through early teens. I spent alot of time at their house and Dean was always so kind to us. I have very fond memories of him and Dorothy. Although I haven't seen any of you for years, I have very happy memories from riding in the convertible to go get an ice cream cone to chasing Cindy the dog in the back yard. Please know I will be praying for you Dorothy, Karen, Mike, and Allan, and your whole family. I would love to reconnect with Karen. If you see this, please email me or find me on facebook please. I have so many memories of our friendship. I even remember when Allan was born. Much love to you all. In fond memory of Dean.
