Karen was a dear friend of mine from Boise High School. We lived on the same street and had a lot of happy times together. I was so sad to hear of her passing and my prayers are with her family. She was a lovely young woman when I knew her and I'm sure she was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. May she rest in peace. Nancy Huxsol Jensen
