My family lived down the street from Karen on Marie street when I was little. I have a lot of fun memories of playing at her house. I was a bit older so she would always follow me and my siblings around. She was always up for hide and seek. We would swim at her house a lot also. I am terribly sorry for your loss Reuben and Renata. She was a beautiful young lady.
Love and best wishes. Prayers and hugs from the McCracken family
Kristina, Karl, Kathleen and along with our parents Richard and aina Marie shaw
