Dear Bryan and family,
I have just heard from Tom Lynch about the passing of your wonderful wife and mother of your two beautiful children. I am so so sorry about this tragic news. If there is ANYTHING I can do please let me know. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time. I would have definitely been at the services if I had know.
Please let me know if I can help in any way. You and your family are in my prayers daily.
Sincerely,

My deepest sympathies to the family & friends of Karen Bolden. She was by far the most easy going, helpful person I've had the pleasure of working with here at MGH. Always ready to lend a helping hand, never turned you away. Such a positive person, you will be missed. I'm grateful to have known you.
Rest in peace!

A Place to Rest
God looked down on your body
so tired form hanging on,
from a life that was overwhelming you,
And wanted back his son.
So he took away hte air you breathe,
And gave you what was best,
A place to be at peace,
A final place to Rest.

I grew up with Karen on School Street in Northboro. She lived right across the street from me. Although I don't recall the exact circumstances, I remember clearly that one day at the bus stop some kids were making fun of me and she was the only one who stood up for me -- a very brave thing to do as a young teenager! She was very kind to me. So it does not surprise me at all that Karen became a nurse and obviously had so many friends, coworkers, and family who loved her, admired her, and cared for her deeply. My sympathies to her family and all who will miss her, especially Marilyn, Mary, Richard, and Christopher.

Dear Bryan, Merry, Dan and Family,
I had the priviledge to work with Karen, not only at the MGH but also at the Whidden. She was a great nurse, kind and compassionate. But most of all a dear friend.She fought a brave battle, and showed the rest of us how to live. She will be deeply missed. My deepest sympathy to all of you at this most difficult time.

Karen touched the hearts of so many, she is missed so very much. The memory of her warmth, kindness, thoughtfulness and grace contrasted by her fierce will and strength, although a void in my heart, will forever bring a smile to my face. May her lovely family find strength and peace in the memories she wove throughout their lives.
