Karen Elko

Hi Karen, Well, 21 years ago, I said goodbye. I still have all the memories of us traveling in your Ford Mustang just to go to Department Stores. You were only allowed to be drive for a short amount of time. From the "Harry Potter" books of decades ago, there is a term - "dopple ganger". It means some one who looks like a relative or family member. Through the years, I have seen many dopple gangers who look soo much like you. Beautiful with blond hair, blue eyes and a very tiny nose....

Hi Karen, It has been 20 years since I said goodbye to you. I always think of you every day, month and year. So many fun and happy memories. Guess what Karen, Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones are on tour in 2024. Their concert is at the Well Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Many of your Favorite Rolling Stones songs are playing on the radio now. I can just see you at the concert. You are safe in Heaven. The Post Pandemic World would not be to your liking - Global Turmoil. Even with this...

Hi Karen, It's Joyce, your cousin. For me, I remember your birthday August 1st and this day every year. When I came to say "Hi, Karen" I suddenly realized it will be 20 years in 2024 that I needed to say "Goodbye." You live on in not only me, but in your students and in everyone you touched with you kindness. I learned tonight your students still carry your light wherever they go. Eileen, one of your students, sent a message to you, today. Here words express exactly how your spirit touched so...

Joyce, thank you for remembering Karen the way you do every year. You bring a smile to my heart every time you post and I see her name in my email bin. She was my 4th grade teacher at Manoa Elementary and I will never forget her either. She was definitely a light in this world and obviously a light in yours. God bless you, and God bless Karen, Mrs. Elko, who I can imagine is doing some pretty amazing things in heaven:)

Hi Karen, it's your cousin, Joyce. I just wanted to let you know that I think about you alot. It is almost 20 years since you said goodbye. The memories we shared live forever. These memories are why I am so glad that God placed you in my life. There was a young dove sitting on a tree limb in the front yard yesterday. As I sat on the front porch, I wondered if it was you. I will think of you again in August on your 73rd birthday. Love you, "KR"

Hi Karen, I just wanted to let you know that I think about you so much during each year. You were my confidante, friend and cousin. You always had an extra sense, You understood people and were able to communicate to each person in such a way to create serenity. You truly had so many unique gifts, especially with your students in your classroom. Just wanted to say hi. Love you, Joyce Hall Thomas

Hi Karen, it's been 16 years. It seems longer to me. I miss you so much. I am sure you are at peace. Love you, Your cousin, Joyce

Dear Karen, Yes, it is me again. Just wanted you to know that I think about you all the time, especially last August, 2018. Your birthday was August 1, 1949. My mom, Mildred Degan Hall, passed away on July 26, 2018 and was buried on August 2, 2018. I just wanted you to know that thinking of you was a comfort to me during this time. Well, my dear cousin and best buddy, thanks for always being there.
Love you, Joyce Hall Thomas

Karen, it is Joyce. Just wanted to let you know that it has been 12 years since I had to say goodbye. You will always be my dear cousin and my best buddy. Each March 15 and August 1, I think of you even more. Thank you for all the kindness you gave to so many. Miss you and love you.
