Dear Linda, Jim, Kensi & Grace: Especially after reading Kathryn Caseys book, my heart goes out to you. Kari was clearly an incredible person, and I cant imagine the pain you have endured at the loss of such a phenomenal daughter and mother. Although I do not know you personally, I feel as if I do through Kathryn, and send my deepest condolences. I hope that all of have experienced as much healing as possible, together as a family. May God bless you, and also Kari. You will be reunited in heaven someday and I have no doubt she will be there to greet you with open arms and much love.
