Dear Mike, Carolyn, John, Peter. I'm really sorry about that and my sadness filled into my heart. God blessed her soul in the heaven. Your mother was such a great mother for all and for her carring about everyone. Dear Carolyn I'm so sorry about your lost and wish you all the best in your life.

Miguel, My heart goes out to you and your family. Thinking of you, Heidi

What a treasure this woman was to all around her. I grew up on the same West Linn street where my parents are still neighbors, but had gone off to college by the time the Bonoff family moved in. What a valuable and memorable presence she gave to the entire street. She had a soothing and unassuming nature and you felt seen and strong in conversation with her. In 2018 I was at the Milwaukie Cha cha cha having lunch with my brother and who did I spy a table over, but Karen Bonoff! She came and...

Bonoff family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. The Burke family have so many great memories through the years with Karen as our kids grew up together in West Linn. She was a bright light, always with a smile and a welcoming spirit. She is now a special guardian angel watching over you all. Keeping you in our prayers.

Dear Family,
Please accept my condolences. I volunteered at the library and had plenty of conversations with Karen and most centered around her love of her family. She always made me feel special and why I keep volunteering. Her love seemed to inspire all of us lucky enough to know her. May your good memories and love bring you comfort in your loss.

Dear Mike, Carolyn, John, and Peter -
Because of all the love that Karen sent out into the world, she made the people around her and the places she inhabited all the better for her presence. But we're sure you already knew that being the family she loved to much. Now in her passing, all of that love multiples and floods back to you as we all grieve the loss of such a special person. Please take some small comfort at this most difficult of times in knowing that so many will keep Karen's...

A beautiful spirit, we were blessed to have her in our lives. She always inspired us and made us feel uniquely special. In fact, one of the last things she said to me was, "Barb, you have inspired me to..." She had a way of making you feel important. One of my only friends who always asked to see what shoes I was wearing! She was truly a special person and I feel her presence in the small buds of springtime. Our deepest condolences Mike, Carolyn, John and Peter.

A perfect tribute to our beloved Karen. She will be so missed by all who knew her. I intend to keep her loving, caring, wise and wryly funny spirit alive in my heart forever. We are all better people for having known this special person. Love to you all. Peg and Terry
