sorry to hear of Karens passing,I only knew Karen through my job, however, that job was selling music which i believe enables you get to know your regulars on quite a personal level, like a few Bluffies, she would have had a pretty extensive music collection, Karen, you were one of my fav customersd ,rest easy
