My love, you left me too soon. There were so many more plans, laughter and dreams to share. Yesterday I said my goodbyes and am only left with a broken heart. As I walk through our home, I'm left with the articles of our time together and I will forever cherish them. My one consul is that last day, when I left I said "I love you" and our quick embrace and kiss, in hindsight, was too short considering what was to come.
Honey, save a seat at the table for me, one day I know we'll be together again. I love you.

Art~ Karen has touched so many lives with her kind heart, her contagious laugh, and her loyal friendship. Her sudden passing has left a hole that no one will ever be able to fill. You and the rest of her family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. She may be gone but will never be forgotten.

Although I did not know personally get to know Karen very well, having worked side by side with Art for several years I got to hear much about her and how she kept Art on his toes . Lots of funny stories were told . After meeting more of the family and friends and hearing their stories, it is quite evident there will be another bright star up in the heavens. I wish the family all the best; now is the time to lean on one another .

There are no words that can ease your pain and nothing that can be done to stop your sorrow. But rest assured that in time all will be right and you will be once again with Karen. RIP sweet lady.

Karen
Oh what a beautiful dancer was she.
Across the floor she would soar majestically defying gravity.
A joy to behold for all who did know the kindness of her soul.
Karen, how I shall miss you as the world I see will be more barren without your glee.
If any joy is to remain for what is to remain of my days in this world it is in knowing this.
Though I miss you now and my sorrow will last for many a tomorrow, I know one day each other we shall see;
And when that time does come my heart and soul will again be in a state of bliss.

There is so little one can say at this time.
Karen, you were loved by many.
No words can fill the emptiness that everyone feels inside.
May joyful memories of Karen, replace the sadness in everyone's hearts.
And may time and love bring your family and friends peace and comfort in the knowledge you have an angel watching over you.
Rest in Peace Karen.

Art and family,
I wish I could tell you how much Karen meant to me. Though I only knew her through online and SKYPE, her friendship, love, humour, and laughter will always be a huge part of my life. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to have her be a part of my life and she will forever hold a piece of my heart with her until the day that we are joined again.

Love,

Laurie
