Karen M. Makowski

Although I didn't see Karen very much after we graduated from high school, I remember her grace and her talent so very well. Karen was exceptional, graceful, beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss.

I mourn the loss of my oldest sister Karen, the sister I grew up with, the sister I looked up to. These are the memories that will stay with me.

I fondly recall life on Jersey Avenue in Jersey City. Karen was always so proud to be my big sister. She and her friends sometimes played house and used me as the real-live baby doll.

El and I fought, but Karen and I never did. Maybe it was because of our age difference.

From as far back as I can remember,...

Dear Rita,

We are so very sorry to learn of your daughter's passing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers for peace, calm and God's gift of grace at this difficult time.

Our deepest, most sincere sympathy,

Art and Kathie Grimley

This is my second entry. I am so very sorry for your family's loss..I know Karen's dad passed away in July and can't imagine how difficult this must be for her family. I also attended QP with Karen and remember her as a sweet, thoughtful girl, an excellent pianist as well as in Spirits of the Theater. I had seen her quite a few times over the years and she retained the shy sweetness she had as a young girl. She was a special person. Go with God Karen...there is a special place in heaven for you.
