As the anniversary comes again, I am thinking of Karen and our other co-workers who were killed. Karen was a lovely woman and I remember her fondly. May her memory be a blessing.

Karen, I read your name at the memorial today and a rose signed your name... your birthday must have been this days...
I remember 9/11 so as it was yesterday... coming home after being on duty that night- looking forward to have a great soccer-evening...
I switched on TV and saw the second plane hitting the tower... from that moment, I couldn't stop watching... till 2am...
These moments changed the world... and finished your life at same age like I'm now... I remember being at the top of WTC in 1993... incredibly high...
I think of you today - Having two wonderful kids and being here wirh my wife-knowing each other for 25 years and celebrate The New Year tomorrow...
Wish you ans your family and your beloved ones, that you will be reunited one day...

Every year on this day I think of you and, with tears in my eyes say a little prayer that you have found eternal life and that God's love is helping your family heal a bit more with each passing year. You and those that went with you on that tragic day will never be forgotten.

Karen....I will never forget. You or your laugh or what a great friend you were to members of my family. Each year passes and I cry....remembering what was and what will never be. You are wrapped in God's love. where peace is a daily occurence. May yoy find solace on knowing that knew you and the other victims of this tragedy will NEVER FORGET!

Although I never knew you, I was given the same name at birth..."Karen," and my maiden name is Schmidt. I was also 42 - your age - at the time of your passing. I know you are wrapped very tightly in God's arms today...more than ten years later, and I know this world is worse for your loss. I read that you loved tennis - me too, only you were a player and I tend to watch. If I can mark your memory in some small way, I will try to play
(at life and living) more often in tribute to you.

Today at church, there was a basket of all the names of the victims of 9/11. The priest asked everyone to take a name and pray for them & their families. My 6 year old daughter eagerly took out a name and it was yours. Tonight she reminded me to say a prayer for you and she would, too.

I can still remember our conversation about the possibly of the WTC being a target for trouble. I can hear you say “mark my words, Mary If there is even the slightest chance of trouble I’ll be on my way out of that building, so fast. How I do not want to be involved in any politics, mark my words.”
I also remember our last meeting, we saw each other on the tennis court in Freeport NY and I was full of praise for you. For you were playing a lot those days and your game was hot. And how happy you were, that everything in your life was wonderful. So Happy! Still can see you wining points at the net with such precise volleys. I miss you my friend Karen, Mary Gierczak

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

To Karen's family & friends,

Before I moved from CT to NC in Nov of 2000, my friends and family had a surprise going-away party. Karen traveled from LI to attend. Karen, Ron, Jody, & Judy gave me a gift certificate from Home Depot in order to purchase a tree for my new yard. I was to remember our friendship everytime I looked at it.

The tree is blooming heart-shape leaves. The memories will last forever - skiing, Utah, Austria, whitewater rafting, the Cape.....

Remember the good times. :)

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

I gave Karen tennis lessons at Carefree Racket Club years ago. I was very sorry to hear she was taken from this world in such a brutal way. I will always remember her sweet disposition and kind manner.
