When I first saw the note from Todd, I thought to myself, "I wish I had a good photo to share!" And then I remembered that I did! These photos are from Karen's San Francisco days, circa early 2000s, I think. I had recently relocated to Los Angeles and wanted to explore more of my new state, so Karen very kindly hosted me at her apartment so I could have a home base while checking out San Francisco. I remember that she was very concerned about what she would make me for breakfast, because I had just received my celiac diagnosis and she did not feel confident about making scrambled eggs. :) She and Todd took me to the beach my last day there and the sea was a bit wild that day! I love the photo of Karen with that beach foam, and I feel like the foam could be described in the way one might describe Karen-- out of the ordinary, attracts your attention, inspires you, and makes you laugh...
In loving memory from your cousin Cheryl
