I’m so sad to hear about the loss of my dear Aunty Karin.  I will never forget visiting her house as a child and staring in awe and wonder at all the colorful froggy ornaments in her collection. To this day I think of her when I see a cute frog keepsake.  Please accept our deepest sympathies for the loss of your beloved. May the memories you have with her bring some peace to your hearts. We share this grief with you and your family in these difficult times. Aunty Karin will be missed but she will continue to live in our hearts.  Love Kelly, Ariya and Vikram
