My heart goes out to all of you to hear that Quen has fallen asleep in the Lord. I have such fond memories of Quen first as the Cool Guy in high school and then as the enthusiastic young man who had come to himself. He was happy then and was interesting##imported-begin##Karen Thomas##imported-end##
