Karen Lynn Gibson

It hardly seems possible to still miss you this deeply. There was so much yet ahead, and I wasn´t done needing you. You would have handled my cancer diagnosis a lot better than Nance did. How I wish you were here to know your namesake. She is smart and lovely and amazing and she and her brothers deserved to have the auntie you always promised you´d be.

Jon,

My mom saw this memorial recently in the paper and she shared it with me. You and Karen were a big part of my life long ago, so I just wanted to write to say that I think of you and remember you both.

Hi Nancy. Would you mind sending me your personal email address? Mine is: [email protected]. Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you.

My children had many friends over the years, but Karen was one who really stood out. When I think of Karen, I remember the zest for life she shared with everyone who knew her. What a wonderful person and gift she was to us.

Karen was a good childhood friend and I fondly remembering swimming many times with her in her Grandmother's pool.

I fondly remember Karen from high school. We dated a coupe of times. She was fun, lovely and caring. I do still think of her. As soon as I turned the page in the paper this morning I recognized that smile!

Nance, you know how I feel about the 4th of July, but I do love Bob's take on the celebration and will think of that tonight while the fireworks are going off. I still miss her so, so much. Her little namesake will get lots of extra hugs today, just in case they somehow make it through to her guardian angel. Love you guys!
