My family and the Keasler's were friends, and Karan and I were friends, though we did not hang out that much. In the mid-70s, Karan's grandmother lived next door to my father. I visited Dad many times with my children and saw Karan several times. She was a great help to her grandmother. I was so sorry to hear that she had died. She was a good person.
