    Prayers for peace & comfort for the family. Karen was a good friend to our daughter Kate during their high school years. She spent a lot of time at our home during that time. And I grew up with the Pletch girls in our neighborhood, so I knew her Mom. My husband Wayne, worked at the Nickel Plate RR with Carl, her Dad. Blessings, Barb & Wayne Fausett.
