My mother (Pat Wooten) worked for Children and Family Service for an number of years, and was very fond of Karen. Karen handled our case when I was adopted at age 9 and I will never forget her kind and gentle nature. I knew I wanted to treat people the same way when I grew up. My sincere condolences for your loss.
