To the Schmidt family,
We are so sorry about Kara. We took her to school everyday for kindergarten and we got to know what a sweet little girl she was. My son Tony was very close to her. She will be missed and loved. You are in our prayers. May God be with you.

Dear Schmidt Family,
Kara was in my class with Mrs. Madigan. She was my friend and I will really miss her. I think she is an angel now.

Dearest Schmidt's
My family and I would like to send our deepest sympathy to you and your family. My son Michael was in first grade with Kara. Kara was a wonderful help when it came to setting up for the class party's. And she loved keeping an eye on my little girl while I was busy. Kara was a beautiful young lady. She will never be forgotten!! We will keep her and your family in our prayers and our hearts.

To the entire Schmidt family;
My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. Although I did not know Kara, she is in my prayers. God had a plan for her and called her into his arms. There should be a little comfort in knowing that you now have an ANGEL in heaven who is watching over all of you. I will continue to pray for your family. God bless all of you and don't hesitate to look to him for guidance.

My son, Nathan, road the school bus with Kara and knew her from the Boys and Girls Club. I can't begin to understand how you are coping with this but know that myself and may others will keep you in our prayers.

To Kara's family, I offer my deepest condolences. So nearly the same, a year ago, on Febr 19, my totally adorable 12-yr old daughter had a severe seizure that took her to Children's on life-support where she remained until she died on March 9. The year following has been the most painful, horrible year - beyond what I ever could have imagined. I know yours will be as well. A year later, her brother and I have healed a bit, and much of the nearly unbearable pain has turned into a wonderful bundle of happy memories. May God grant you some comfort and much healing.
Diana Bloss.

He was the reason why i got through the weeks and months after my loss. Stay strong with the help of your family,and friends. Reach out to them, it really does help.

We do not even know you and your little girl but we feel so bad. What a shame. Saw her picture up at the library and she looks like a sweet little girl. Now she has angel wings and is watching over you. May you find strength in knowing that she is still with you.
