Kari Anne Jacobson

I remember Kari in Woodrow and HUHS. She was such a sincere person and was never afraid to be who she was. I always admired that about her, plus she was so funny. My sincere condolensces and prayers to her family. She will be missed.

Tom as a a friend of Kari on the Cancer Center Forum on line I shall always be grateful for her friendship and the many ways she was an encourger to me and my husband during his battle with cancer. We have appreciated her and all the info she sent our way, the posters she made for his hospital room, the orgami swans she sent us her e mails, the healthy recipes and much more.

Kari made me a better mother with an observation she made during a nature walk with my daughter. I was worried about my daughters safety when she refused to be carried but I decided to let her make her own way. Kari said " She is such a strong sure person and is so unafraid and confident." I have often thought back to that in times where I was letting my fears influence decisions I made about my children and I Would hear Kari's words again and know I had to let go of my own fears and...

I remember Kari and Tom(my) very well from high school. Kari always had such a beautiful smile, and she accepted everyone for who they were. It did not come as a suprise to know that Tom left his job to be Kari's full time caretaker, it is hard to remember seeing them apart. Tommy, and Mr. and Mrs. Peterson my deepest condolences, and please know that I hold you all in my prayers.

Tom, we the Hani family were so sorry to hear about the passing of Kari. You know that you and Kari were a fine complement to each other. You both shared something truly remarkable. I have never seen so much love and the tender care you gave to Kari, I admire that. Kari was such a beautiful person inside and out and a smile that you can never forget. Our thoughts are with you Tom and all of your family and Kari's. We have lost a great warrior. Kari will forever be here in all of us. All...

Although I went to LUHS I was drawn to the group in Hanford by how close they all were with one another, Tommy and Kari seemed to be at the core of this group. I will always have fond memories of that van and "rules on the walls"... You have my sincere condolences and sympathy.

Words fail to truly express what is felt inside at a time like this. I remember Kari from high school and admired her wonderful independent personality. So amazing! I knew Tom(my) well in the Woodrow and HUHS years, before moving from the area. Tom was a true friend and an amazing , genuine, person. I am not surprised at the way you were able to care and support Kari in the tough times! My prayers are with you, Tom, and with the rest of the family. I am just so sorry for all of you-Tahnee

I had the pleasure of working side by side with Kari for many years at a salon in Arcata. She always lit up the room with her calm and beautiful presence. She really did touch many lives through her work and we all missed her terribly when she began her treatments.Her courage stood the test with everything she has been through and I can't say I have known a braver soul. My heart goes out to her husband Tom and both their families. Peace be with you.

Kari and I were in Woodrow together and Mrs. Peterson was my teacher. (One of my favorite teachers I might add). Kari always had cutting edge style and I will never forget the time her hair looked just like the lead singer of 'Til Tuesday that sang Voices Carry. Blonde and spikey with the rat tail in the back. I thought she looked just like her..but better! Kari was always kind and well liked. I looked up to her sense of individuality. She will truly be missed. Stephanie Bolze
