Dear Harris Family,
As one of Karyn's closest West Coast friend, I can't help but realize what a gift it was to have known Karyn. How can anyone think of Karyn and not think of her impacting smile and loving heart. I, truly, will miss her. God bless.

Dear Harris Family-
I am so very sorry to hear of Karyn's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in your time of grief. I hold fast to the wonderful memories I have of Karyn's friendship and the blessings of time spent together throughout our time at WRHS, in Marina Del Rey the spring of '85 and in more recent times preparing our 20th HS reunion this past summer. The memory of Karyn's smile, sparkling eyes and infectious laugh will continue to make me smile as I remember her kindness, spunk and unflagging spirit.

Dear Harris family,
I cannot express my deep saddness enough to your family. Karyn was a friend and mentor. We worked together at the RHC and I so enjoyed her friendship. She was smart, innovative, kind,and joyful, with an enthusiasm for life that few experience. She would tell me I was like a big sister to her. A great compliment, indeed. My heart goes out to all of you, for I know how much you will miss her. Her family was all important to her. She cherished you all. It would be hard to find a more loyal and loving friend. I will miss her laughter and her smiling eyes. God keep her. You have to be proud to have raised such a wonderful young woman. God bless you all.
With deepest sympathy,
Claudia Crews
