Missing you much! I feel your spirit more than ever... not really sure what to make of that, but it's definitely comforting. Thank you for watching over me. I came across a picture of You, Joyce, Lisa and I think Sharon back in your hay day. Looks like you guys were having a ball! But then again you always did. Have the angels to surround Leonard and give him strength to finish his work here. Tell everyone that I love them. I love and miss you immensely!

I often get these overwhelming feelings of the times we shared, and my first instinct is to cry because the wound is still so fresh. Karen it's been 7 years, and yet it still feels like yesterday. I often wonder what your last day was like, what you were feeling, or thinking. To know you're in paradise now is a peaceful feeling for me. Please hug Butter, granddady,
bigmamna, Phillip, and the rest of the family for me. Tell them that I miss them immensely! Thank you for walking me back to the light. I love you and I'll see you when it's time.

Hey Auntie, it's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I truly miss you and our early morning talks. My heart still aches but the void I felt has been replaced with memories.
Just know none of the holidays have been the same without you.
Loving you forever and always,

Oh boy Karen, I know our time expires today for sharing our thoughts and prayers with you via this site, but as you know, you will be forever in our hearts and will NEVER be forgotten.

Karen I miss you so much, and I never knew just how much or how hard I would handle your death; athough, your doctor tried to prepare us for this time, but in reality, I was never prepared to lose my little sister. Karen I will hold on to all of our fun times we spent growing up as well as our happy times as adults. I know you are in a peaceful place now and struggling no more, but I still miss you.

Please say hello to all we've lost and tell them that they are all missed. Karen please continue to watch over us!

Love you,

Daphne

Hey Sister,

It's me again, I realize time is nearing for posting my emotions on your guest book. I had a bad day yesterday.

I realized that I cannot talk about you to people outside of our family without breaking down. I know in time that will pass; but for now you still reign in my heart.

I will always love you!

My Dearest Karen,

My heart is truly broken and I cry every day. I haven't felt this kind of hurt in a while. I know time heals all wounds, but this one is really deep. I miss you dearly. As the tears fall from my face as I'm writing you I know that you are rejoicing in your new home. Karen, you were more than my aunt... you were my "bossy" big sister (smile). I could always count on you to tell me the way it was whether I wanted to know it or not (another smile). There are so many memories that I will cherish. I love you now and always. Karen, you are truly irreplaceable!

October 23, 2012

Hey Sister,

Just want you to know that I'm thinking about you. I'm still trying to absorbed the fact that you are no longer with us in the flesh; but you will always remain in our hearts.

I love you!

Hey Sister,

I watched the video Brian had made in honor of your precious memories. As the video played I found myself smiling, and I understand Braylan smiled while she watched it too. Oh Sister, you would have been so proud of of your son, he chose some wonderful moments that he and all of us spent with you.

I'm going to go for now, I just wanted to share that with you!

I'll always love you!

October 5, 2012

Hey Sister,

This morning I woke up feeling broken hearted. Knowing you wouldn't want me feeling this way I thought of you being in a better place.

After listening to Freda telling me how she sometimes revisits the night of your passing allowed me to forget about how I was feeling as my heart ached for hers.

We love you!
Mary

Did you notice that I changed the color on the candle? This one is for me simply because my heart is feeling a bit warm today and not so broken.

I love you!!

Karen I will always remember "Thursday" September 20th and Friday September 21,2012. I know it was nothing but God that lead me to you on both of those days. I did not know Thursday would be my last time to see you alive. But I must say thursday was a pleasent day. You told me that you were so tired. And God knew that you were tired also. So God laid your body to rest. I'm going to miss you dearly. May you rest in piece. Love you, your sister Freda Sanders

Karen,

I will miss you dearly, your smile, your laugh and your personality. I will miss texting you and you replying thanks Angie (you text at the right time I needed that). You were someone that would tell it like it was and I appreciated that. We had some good time growing up especially when mom and dad would make us all come to the house on New Jersey. I remember sitting on the porch and listening to you talk. You will always be in my heart, thoughts and prayers!

To the family: May God put his arms of protection around each of you especially Brian and Braylan. May he give you all Peace and Comfort now and in the days, weeks and years ahead and may you all lean on God for guidance.

Love you Karen and family!

Ms Karen RIH...had to give it some thought of what to say but I want you to know I cherish the talks that we had when you felt so lost, sad, angry of all the suffering you were goin thru. I listened to you and took it to heart. I watched and saw the same pain with my mother. I am standing by your son and will love him with all my heart. You are a strong beautiful woman that is now been given a brand new body. No more pain or suffering you are happy now an smiling upon us all...;)

To the family of Karen, I haven't known Karen for too long, but I delivered her meals to her. I really enjoy talking with her. I prayed for her and consoled her, for I saw her struggle. Everyday I that I saw her I would take a deep breath as I left. She was so sweet and kind. As I read all the condolences, I hear nothing but good things of her. By reading I found out that she went to school 60 as I and my children. Wish I could have known her then. I know she would have been a good friend. So family you are in my prayers. I already miss going to see her. May you Karen rest in peace. My God continue to bless each of you.

KJ,
Your life was a blessing, your memory is a treasure.
You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
This poem only slightly touches the many thoughts that I have.
It's hard to think of what to say while feeling overwhelmed and sad.
You were so bold and beautiful, so honest and so true.
You've touched so many people that will forever remember you.
I know you're in a better place and only time will help that's true,
But right now the tears are falling because we're missing you.
My prayers are with your family and friends.
I love and miss you KJ
