May this candle find its way to you mom. My heart is still in so much pain. I am lost without you. I love you and miss you. I have a hole in my heart that will never be filled.

Dear Karen,
Will the ache in my heart ever go away knowing you are gone. If tears could bring you back you would be with us again. You will always be my dear little skinny red head. Love until we meet again.

The moment that you died my heart was torn in two. One side was filled with heartache, the other left with you. Remembering you is easy, I'll do it every day. But missing you is sadness that will never go away. I love you.
