It's been some years now since we lost this great soul. Today would've been her 48th birthday. 12 years missed. I'll miss every next one, from the 13th to the 107th.
You're never far from my thoughts, Karen. The world was far better when you were here. You'll be forever missed.
Happy Birthday dear friend. xo

Dear Andrew,
Although you do not know me, I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to you and Karen's family. I just searched to reconnect with her on facebook and learned of her passing. My heart goes out to you. I went to Kutshers camp with Karen and rememeber many fond memories. One in particluar was spending the weekend with her in Brooklyn (i think we were in 8th grade), and walking the Brooklyn Bridge! Her energy, laughter and smile will be long remembered. You and her family are in my thoughts.

Absolutely devastated by the news I have just read, with much delay. I was only trying to get back into contact with an old friend, and was already looking forward to a chat when the whole thing overthrew me. May her beauty, energy, friendliness and affection be remembered. Let her gentle soul watch over those she loved and still loves, Let there be the blessing of her smile on our lives. My deepest sympathy goes out to Andrew and her family.
Jean-Luc Tendil, a friend from France, a friend forever

Andrew,
We have never met, but Karen and I went to summer camp (Kutsher's Sports Academy) together over 20 years ago. I just learned about what happened last November and am at a loss over what to write. She was always such a sweet, wonderful person and full of energy.
I have read your blog and appreciate your sharing your heart with the world.I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Your eloquent words express a beautiful love and unfailing faith. The world must mourn for the loss of such a radiant being, but her presence felt by many even now, is a comfort to those who miss her, no doubt.

I am a parent at The Ella Baker School where Karen taught my son in Kindergarten. She was a kind, loving & caring teacher who introduced four and five year olds to the joy of learning, and the beauty of life. My heart goes out to you..
May God bless you and keep you, may his face shine upon you and give you peace"

I am a second grade teacher at the lycée Français and I worked with Karen for 2 years. Karen also taught english to both of my daughters. I remember her as beautiful, strong, happy young woman with a great sense of humor. My prayers are for both Karen and Andrew's family.

I didn't know Karen personally, but I have heard a lot about her since working at the Lycee Francais de New York. She sounds like an amazing, dynamic woman full of life and vigor who was enjoying the happiest time in her life. An example of someone who lived in the moment, and lived it fully. Marie has always recounted many fun and touching stories about Karen, and now we are talking about her every day - keeping her alive at the Lycee and in our hearts. She was an incredible friend , and she will not be forgotten. I hope you can feel God's love and Karen's spirit in this difficult time.
