Karen held my hand during my mother's time at St.Luke's Hospice House. I never had a chance to publicly thank her. Her words of encouragement during this difficult time meant the world to me. We were friends at STA, but our connection during mom's stay went deeper than friendship. We have lost an amazing classmate and human.
