Dear Rob,

Today was our first meeting in person, although we've talked and exchanged e-mails over the past couple of months. Thank you for allowing Northwestern College to be a part of the remembrance of Karen and the leaving of a legacy trough the scholarship you have created. I truly believe that her life and memory will be an encouragement to students for many years to come. My prayers are with you. May God bless you.

My fondest memories of Karen are of her remarkable ability to leave a immediate and permanent impact on people's lives. Darcy met Karen only once, and only briefly, but that meeting provided an intense, lasting impact with her, as if Darcy had known her for years. My fondest memories go back to when Rob and I worked together. I'd call Rob, and Karen would often answer the phone. I would spend half an hour catching up with Karen, and completely forget why I had called. She touched our hearts,...

Sweet Karen was honored, remembered, and celebrated beautifully today by many who knew and loved her. We will carry her "living reminder of Christ" in our hearts for the rest of our earthly lives. Our Good and loving Lord who holds the power of life and death, now holds Karen close forever in His strong & tender arms. Dear Rob, words seem so flate and inadequate to express my heart. May you be carried through this dark time by His great light and love.
Your friend and brother in...
