Leona and I were just reminiscing about you. Like we´ve done many times. I´m left still thinking about you. Us. Your Elise. ~ I wish we were still fighting over Leona. I wish we could turn back time. This picture is gold to me. We stole Leona´s camera and took selfies. Trying to make her laugh when she later developed them. I´m so grateful we were her brats. ~I hope Julia found you and you´re together up there never forgotten

KO! You were my best friend in highschool growing up. Although we unfortunately didn't remain in contact in adulthood, I never have forgotten you & was so saddened to learn when you had passed. God calls the best ones home; you will always be with everyone in spirit. KO will always stand for KNOCK OUT, like it did growing up.

I think about you everyday. Words can't describe how much I miss our times together. When I look at Elise playing outside all summer, I think back on all the good times we had in the backyard together. She loves being outside in the sun all day, just as you did. Words can't explain how much I love your daughter, she is just like you. You will always be in my heart.
I miss you everyday.

My sister,
I visited your grave site today as I have
done many times. It is still so painful
to see your name on the headstone.
I miss you so much. I cry every day
and I know you wouldn't want that, but
I feel like half my soul is gone.
I can't believe we have to live our
whole lives without you. It truly
is painful. Your daughter Elise is
so beautiful, but why wouldn't she
be. She's has her own mind, Miss little
independent and she is also so sweet.
Most important, she is loved! Please
don't worry too much about her, many
are looking out for her and always will. I love you my sister, my friend.

I Love You...and Miss You more than anyone can imagine.

I just found out yesterday thru our friend Kathy, who found this guest book online, of ur passing. I still can't believe ur gone. I kept wondering why u didn't call after I gave u my cell number when I last saw u at Stop 'n Shop. You said, u were due anytime with ur baby girl. You were so happy and excited, lookin' beautiful, as always. I have so many fond memories of us living together at the YWCA and hanging out after we both moved, as well. Thank you so much for being there for me, when I lost John. I remember staying up late talking with u and Kathy, while under my electric blanket because that place had very little heat. We shared secrets and dreams, I will never forget it. You are one of the most beautiful girls I have ever known and ur smile could light up a room in seconds. I will never forget you, my dear friend .. and will miss u always. I love you.
April 18, 2010
I cannot believe after all the searching to find you... you are gone.. my heart is so so so so sad... I never got to see you. I will always remember all the amazing times we had when we lived together. If it wasn't for you.. I would have never met my hubby... I will miss you forever.. Love you..

I did not know your family, but can empathize with your pain. I also lost my daughter , after she gave birth to her son . This occurred a few months before Karen's death. I read the article in the newspaper and have prayed for your family ever since. No death is good, but to give birth to your precious baby, and then be taken away is so cruel. It's not something you expect, and leaves total devastation for those who are left behind . I extend my condolences and deepest sympathy to Derek, little Elise, and to your families.
God bless you all.
Shrewsbury, Ma.

A picture of you on your wedding day is on my phone wallpaper.How beautiful.My mind begins to wander of all the silly,crazy and joyous times we spent together.I miss you.There's a tear where there was a smile.
My heart is broken and my hair is a mess.I wish you were here to tell me to get a hair cut and keep me in check.
The world is not the same without you.I just can't believe your not here.
Keep the one you missed good company.
I miss you more than you'll ever know.

I just found out tonight that Karen died. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family, friends and daughter. She was my cousin but, I only met her one time as young teenager- many years ago. Even back then, I thought she was beautiful. We are the same age and have the same name. I lost contact with her and never even knew she lived locally.
This is such a tragedy in more ways than one. I wish I had an opportunity to know her....I guess that is my loss.
May God keep baby Elise close to HIS side.
