I am saddened to hear that Olan has passed away. He and Karen were long time friends of mine and over the years we spent lots of times during the time Karen was helping with Miss Eppie and others. Losing both of them in one year, in a relatively few months, is even sadder. I know that both of them believed in God and I know where both of them are...together again, like they always were.
