Dear Jan and Kevin,
My heart goes out to you and your entire family. Amy and I have many fond memories of hanging out together in the "early days." Karen was always so curious and full of life interested always in meeting new people and gaining new experiences. Karen's picture is perfect in capturing the bright and engaging spirit that she possessed.She touched many people's lives deeply as all these comments convey and she will not be forgotten.
Jan, you were always a blessing in my life and I hold you close to my heart.
Love,
Donna

There was a huge turn out with standing room only and that shows the type of person Karen truely was, she could truely fit in to any situation and she touched everyone she came in contact with in some way. Karen had a way of bringing happiness and a smile to the people she new. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

I shall always think of Karen and Lazy W Methodist Family Camp--if there were kittens around, she would be there, petting and holding them, gently showing them to little children who would gather around her. Despite her health problems, she would talk animatedly about her volunteer work, and I enjoyed seeing her each year at camp. I am so very sad to hear of her passing, Jim and Judy--The De Anda-Scaia family sends our most sincere condolences and prayers for her dear family and friends who will all miss her so much.

The Scott Family,
You have my deepest sympathies at the passing of your loved one, Karen. I met her at our Fibromyalgia meeting last year. My chats with her were very enjoyable and I knew she was a wonderful person. She told some of her other health issues; therefore, now we know, she is truly healed. Her life may have only lasted forty-one years on earth, but I believe she lived a full life here, and it continues on into the other side.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Karen was a bright ray of light that will undoubtedly be missed by a great many people in the South Bay and beyond. Although I only met Karen recently at our monthly Fibromyalgia support group meetings, her presence was so meaningful to the group process that her energy and positive outlook helps keep me going each day as well. My deepest sympathies to Karen's family, close friends, and other social groups where she made such a difference in lives.

To Karen's Family,
I worked with Karen while volunteering at Red Cross in the Del Amo office over several years. Her great spirit and determination overcame the challenges she encountered and her enthusiasm was contagious. Several times I stopped to read all her bumper stickers and generally found a new one. Karen's smiles and kindness will be missed by so many--family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

We are sorry we cannot be there to celebrate Karen's life with you. Bev remembers her most as a toddler and little girl. Even then, she never let her problems keep her down and was always a delight to visit.

Karen will be missed but not forgotten. She was a member of our Fibromyalgia Support Group at Torrance Memorial. She showed us the determination and go-for-it attitude that we would all be better off having. She loved her faminly, travel, Disneyland, pet sitting and her job and wanted nothing more than for those around her to be content and well. Our sincere condolences.

Karen did not lose her battle with cancer; I will always remember her as triumphant. Her indomitable spirit will be missed and Family Camp will not be the same without her. My love and sympathy goes out to Karen's family, Jim, Judy, Kevin, Jan, Amy and Beth.

I was fortunate to find Karen in a First Aid/CPR class I took with the Red Cross some years back. I found out we had something in common as I am a kidney transplant recipient of 35 years now from Children's Hospital. Since we "re-connected" we exchanged Christmas Cards each year to keep up on how life was going. She was the only one I had that understood that part of me and I will miss her greatly. You are in my prayers.

Karen will surely be missed. Her enthusiasm for "all things Disney" was delightful! There's a lot to be learned from someone with the challenges she faced and still exuded such an obvious love of life. We had lots of fun at South Bay Center functions.
My condolences to her family and other loved ones.

I was saddened to hear of Karen's passing. Having just seen her with you, Jan, I will always remember her spunky attitude and joy of life. Never complaining and always positive. We all should take note in our lives of that. My sincere condolences.

Karen was an inspiration to the whole family. What will we do without her?
Much love,

Dear Janet,
I never read the obituaries, since they remind me of our own mortality. It was, therefore, uncanny that my eye fell on this Sunday's notice about Karen's passing.
Joyce and I know how close you and Karen were and that her leaving will create a large vacuum in your life.
Though our paths haven't crossed in the last years we want you to know that our thoughts are with you.

My deepest sympathy on the passing of Karen. I met Karen at the South Bay Center many years ago and she was always so sweet. One memory I have of her was she would pull up in her cute little car with all the stickers on it.Again, my deepest condolences.

My condolences to Karen’s family The picture of Karen in the Daily Breeze was a perfect caption of her. I know her from The Fibromyalgia support group at Torrance Memorial. We were blessed with her attendance a few weeks ago. She so inspired me. Never allowing her medical problems to interfere with her life. She will be missed.

I am sorry to read about Karens passing in the newspaper Sunday, she and I knew each other from Special Ed School, I think Alta Vista I born with Spina Bifida, she was 40 and I am 38. Then we ran in to each other at ECC 2 or 3 years ago and I started talking to her about who I was and where I remembered her from, then we went are seperate ways.

My condolences to Karen's family and friends. I knew Karen from the South Bay Center. When I first moved to town 4 years ago, I met Karen at some of the events I attended there. She was very friendly. She often times was wearing some kind of Disney apparel which matched her spunky, fun attitude. She will be missed.

Karen was an amazing, joyful, funny, creative woman who touched many lives in this world. I cannot think of anyone who knew her - who will ever pet a kitty or visit Disneyland - or read a good book and not think of Karen. My deepest condolences on your loss.

I knew Karen because we volunteered together at the South Bay Red Cross. Even though I only saw Karen a view times each year, I was always struck by her determinedness to perservere and to give back kindness to the people around her. She reminded me to be thankful for all the wonderful things in life. I will miss her. I will pray for your family.

I was a frequent customer at San Franciscan for several years. I had spoken to Karen a number of times at the bar, but never officially introduced myself. Since I moved out of state, I often wondered how Karen was doing. I was really sorry to hear that she had passed away. She was an inspiration to me with her many challenges and positive attitude.

Uncle Allen, Judy, Kevin and Janet,
We were shocked and saddened to hear of Karen's death. Although distance kept us apart, your frequent emails kept us in the loop. The thoughts and prayers from the east coast branch of the Scott family continue to be with all of you. Lots of love.
