We always talk about how amazing the Shorma family is. Could never say one bad thing about any of you. This should have had never happened to great people... But it did. And now heaven was greeted with a beautiful angel. She will always be watching you all. We love you all so much!

Words do not express the loss I feel; not just for myself, but for the entire shorma family. Aunt Karen was an amazing women, a loving wife, an incredible mom, and an all around wonderful person. She leaves behind so many people that loved her and will feel her loss so deeply for a very long time. Queen Elizabeth said "to grieve is to have loved". I have loved so much it hurts.

Sarah,
I'm so sorry to hear that your Mom lost her courageous battle. But she's at peace and not in pain anymore. It's so unfair to have lost her so young. May the pain you and your family must endure at this time, weaken with wonderful memories of her in better times. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
Take care!
