Ross, Azaria and Ambya - my deepest condolences to you all. Remember that God will not give you more than you can bear. Karen was a God fearing woman and I know that at the very end she prayed and asked God to take care of her family. Karen and I have been friends for over 20 years. My heart is broken and I will miss her immensely . I will forever cherish the memories of our friendship. Karen was the epitome of a Proverbs 31 woman, a woman of noble character who can find?
I pray that God will give you all the strength to go on. Remember that weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Karen, rest in peace my darling, until we meet again at the pearly gates! We shall walk those streets of gold girl friend!

Dear Ross

It's been a week now and I still can't fathom this tragic news. I'm sending my sincere condolences to you, Azaria, Ambya, and all Karen's other relatives and wide circle of friends and colleagues.

My time in Bermuda was made all the more special because of warm and welcoming souls like Karen (whom I met through her cousin Bertha). I will always remember her bubbly personality, her radiant smile and her kindness. She was beautiful inside and out.

Karen soars with the angels now but may the collective memories of her remain with you and other loved ones forevermore, brightening the tough days ahead, and may her spirit dwell among us all as long as we live.

May she rest in peace.
