I miss you and Oscar every day Kari, it makes me sick. I often talk to you thinking you can hear me. I hope you guide us in your own way spiritually when we are seeking answers. I love you and can´t wait to see you again one day.

Kari is still missed. Her absence cannot be filled. We think of her often and then, Oscar. We are left only to think of her family and hope they are working through their bereavement and grief with God's grace.

If words cannot express the pain that I feel personally, how very heartbroken you are, Steve and Kathie!
To have created and raised such a beautiful daughter as Kari... thank you for her.
Kari was the sweetest, most loving young woman I have ever known.
Her zest for life! Her creativity to make everything she could even more beautiful! Her kindness, her caring ...
My life will not be as good without Kari and I will miss her all the days of my life.
You are at peace now, my dearest friend...

Kari was always a joy to be around at family get-togethers. Her smile was contagious. Kari was very creative and full of fun. She brought energy to summer activities at the lake, and was sure to encourage others to join in the fun. Kari made sure everyone was having a good time, always. Kari will be missed, but her smile will remain in our hearts. Peace to the families.
