Here's what I first wrote when I heard of Karen's passing... "Shedding a tear. She brought great joy to me at a Cunha dance. First slow dance ever! She was very kind to an awkward teen. RIP Karen!" We would have been about 13 or 14 at the time of this dance. Dances we're so awkward back then. The girls on one side of the gym and the boys on the other. It took all the courage I could muster to cross the floor. I'm now 55 years old. I remember the dance like it was yesterday. Karen was so beautiful and always had that lovely smile!! Please accept my condolences on your loss.
