No one will ever sing the voice of the angelic nightengale such as
Karen's. Her music tuches me as much now as it did in high school
over 27 years ago. Whenever I was down and feeling blue like many
teen-agers, I went to my room and played Karen and Richard on my turn
table. There, I would listen and let me perfect harmonies just set
my heart at ease. My depression would subsize and suddenly I could
go back to school the next day not feeling so hopeless. In time I
think Richard and her would put together an album of the great hymns
of the faith, which speak to each individual so deeply like no other
music can. I can just imagine her singing "It is Well With my
Soul", "I Believe", and "I Walk in the Garden Alone". She did
sing "Ave Maria" far better than Mario Lanza, and she did very well
on some Christmas carols. Just think how she could have put the
Mormon Tabernacle to shame with her rendition of "The Battle Hymn of
the Republic". Richard, if you are reading this see if she did any
renditions of traditional Protestant Hymns. That album would go
platinum in a matter of weeks.

With love for our beloved Karen,
