Karen Coombe

I was very sad to hear of the loss of Karen. She helped me out in tough times and I will always be thankful. I am so sorry for Robyn, April, Blair and their family I know it will be hard without her and her laughter will be so missed.

My heartfelt condolences to Coombe Family. I worked with Karen several years ago at EPS and will always remember her laugh, smile and her optimism. She will be missed dearly.
Let her heart be yours forever, with love.

So sorry for your loss. I remember Karen as a beautiful, kind person who always has a smile and a kind word. I am sure she is laughing with the angels or telling a joke. God bless and keep her family. Troy & Eileen Mozak

I learned of Karen's passing today. I worked with Karen in DSU for several years, when April and Robyn were just youngsters. She was so proud of them. I will always remember Karen's vivacious laughter that made people around her smile. Karen was kind; her love of children and helpless animals made her a very special person to me and to countless others. Karen has left her mark in this world and will not be forgotten. My sincere condolences to you Blair and your girls.

My heart goes out to Blair, April, and Robyn. I used to work with Karen in Document Service Unit. She was a very nice, kind, and happy person with cheerful laughters. I will miss Karen, and her kindness.

Karen and I were co-workers. But we bonded as mothers. Her daughter and my son were in the same grade and went to the same schools. We bonded as animal lovers. Our 19 + 1/2 year old cat was a kitten from Karen. Karen was always smiling. Her smile beamed loving kindess. And she lived it. I never heard Karen speak a mean word. Karen was always laughing. She giggled with infectious delight. Being around Karen made you believe that the glass was "half full". Karen's passion was her family. She was crazy-in-love wih her husband Blair. Motherhood was Karen's greatest joy. Karen glowed with love and pride when she spoke of April and Robyn. Karen was my friend. Her goodness inspires me to be a better person.

My thoughts are with you at this very sad and difficult time. Karen was one of my very favorite people. No matter what adversity she was facing, she always had a smile for everyone. I worked with her for many years and we shared a lot of laughs, good times, solemn times and many happy memories. I feel very blessed to have known her and called her my friend.

I've known Karen for many years now and she was always there for me in my times of sorrow as well as any other who was troubled. Please accept my sincerest condolences. I just wish I was better able to support you in your time of loss. Karen will be missed greatly by many people.

To the Coombe family. I am really going to miss her. I loved her laugh and her outrageous sense of humour. I worked with her for 20 years. She has left a huge void in our office. Know that God loves her and she is beside him now.

Condolences to all of you, especially
Blair and the girls. Remember Karen as a happy, fun person. Loved to cook and
please. I worked with Karen at EPS & we
had many good times. Let laughter be your inspiration now and in the future.

In loving memory of Karen, a wonderful person who will be missed. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

My condolences to Blair and his family. As a co-worker and friend of Blair I've always told him Karen is a Saint and now she will be.

To Karen's family, please accept my sympathy. I worked with Karen and always enjoyed chatting with her. She had a wonderful disposition and a lovely warm laugh.

Our hearts go out to all the members of Karen's family. The death of a loved one is a very troubling time and the sorrow is a long time. Try to think of all the good times you have had through the years and it will help sooth the pain very slowly. Karen' Mom was my best friend so I feel for all of you as I have met all of you through the years. My prayers and thoughts will be with you. Rita and David Oliver Entwistle

Blair, April and Robyn;

I considered Karen to be my best friend. I loved her as a sister. I feel her loss immensely as I'm sure you do as well. I have so many memories of her generosity, thoughtfulness, and humour. Our family uses "Karenisms" daily and she will continue to live in our hearts forever.
