I LOVE You Karen and miss you something awful. I miss your laugh and the fun we use to have laughing so very much. Karen will always be very close to my heart. When I was young I was very very sick and Karen would cheer me up and bring me out of my misery many times. Keith was the cutest kid around and I adored him. She loved you Keith so very much. You were the apple of her eyes. Keith you were everything to her. I Love you Keith and always will. Rest In Peace Karen. You and Keith are in my daily prayers. God Bless

Love Melanie

Keith, Im so very sorry to read this. You likely dont remember me, but I was close friends with Deidre and Melanie DiCresce and through them, knew you and your mom. I moved out of Revere in 90 and lost touch with a lot of people, but your mom and I crossed paths in the mid-90s and would chat on the phone a lot. She loved you so very much and strived to improve her life and yours. She was a genuine, kind woman and Im grateful to have known her.

Keith,

I haven't seen you or your Mom in 15 years. I moved away a long time ago to FL. I look in the Boston Globe every now and again hoping I would never see anyone I know in the obituaries. I wasn't so lucky this time. I am very sorry to see that your Mom past away. I remember her as a very funny and loving person. You're in my thoughts. Email me if you want to catch up.

I knew Karen from OA. She had a lot of courage and, despite many hardships in her life, was always trying to be the best person she could be. The sobriety and abstinence from overeating she achieved over the years was admirable. Keith, you were her pride and joy. She always spoke of how happy you and your friends made her. She was so proud in feeling that YOU were proud of HER accomplishments. God bless.

Hello Keith,

My family is so sorry for your loss. Karen was a very close friend of mine. I have some pretty nice memories of your mom. I went to Karen's service today, and im sorry but i couldnt make it to the Hall. I really would have liked to, though. Last time i talked to her which wasn't too long ago, i knew something was up. She spoke very highly of you every time we talked. Karen was a great friend of mine and it killed me when i found this out. You have all of my sympathy. =[

thanks for your time.
