an acquaintance from work

(Dallas, Tx)

Karen was a wonderful, sweet, funny, creative and caring person with whom I had the pleasure of working. She was always quick with a smile and kind word in an atmosphere that could be very tense one day and lots of fun the next. I feel very fortunate to have seen her at the Cattle Baron’s Ball about a year ago, where she looked radiant and seemed so happy. We ran into each other several times that night after not crossing paths for a few years. We had the opportunity to catch up on each other’s lives while standing in a long line in front of the ladies’ room . . . it was a great visit that will now serve as one of my many fond memories of Karen.

Little Buddy

(Brewster, Massachusetts)

Dear Karen, My life has been so blessed having a little buddy like you, we’ve shared so many good times as well as the bad ones too. Friendships like ours only come along once in a lifetime and there is no one else that could ever fill your shoes. You are now my guardian angel until the time has come for us to be together again someday. Thank you for letting me be a part of your wonderful life. Your forever friend & little buddy always, Cathey xxxooo

Sister-in-law to Anneke / Sister to Ray

(Kenosha, Wisconsin)

I have been blessed to have a friend like Karen for so many many years. I feel she was like a sister to me like Anneke is. She has always been such a positive and fun person. I will miss her crazy jokes she would e-mail me. A few weeks ago she told me she was so very tired – tired of fighting this illness – I told her she couldn’t give up even tho I knew she had gone through so much – I knew I was being selfish – I wanted her to stay with us — she gave this disease the best fight to the very end that anyone could have ever given it. She is now resting, free of any pain but will always be watching over all of us. I’m so very happy that I was able to visit with her this past Memorial Day weekend – my memories and the pictures taken that weekend will always be with me.
