Karen M. Meneses

I don't know if these notes still reach Lauren but just in case. Lauren, your mom and I were fast friends in Boston. Today I was sewing and thought of her and went searching to reconnect. I was devastated to learn this sad news. I am so very sad that we lost touch. I wanted to send you a note and tell you what a unique and marvelous person she was. And how dear to me. I hope you are well. Nancy Lutz

Please accept my deepest condolences. Dr. Meneses was a such a blessing to nursing. She will be so missed. You and your family are in my prayers.

So sorry for the loss of your loved one. Dr. Meneses was truly a remarkable woman! May God's peace keep you and hold you.
God bless you and keep you.
Sincerely,
Apryl Lewis UAB nursing student

Karen was an elegant woman, a leader among oncology nurses and researchers. I met Karen in Boston in the 1980's and have admired her. Her legacy will be long standing. Please accept my condolences for your loss.

I am one of Karen's former PhD students and i join with all who knew her in mourning her passing. Karen's legacy of commitment to knowledge of the truth through research will live on in our careers and those of our own students. Jim Rhudy, PhD, DNP, APRN, CCNS, CCRN-CMC-CSC

Lauren, I am very saddened by the loss of your dear mother. I met Karen when we were in the doctoral program together at Boston College. She was such a bright, energetic, capable and accomplished person. She's had a remarkable research career, which has enhanced the lives of so many - patients and care providers alike. She was very kind to me and invited me to your home in Cambridge for Easter dinners. I have not been in touch with Karen in recent years, but I still feel the deep loss of her unexpected passing. My prayers go out to you and your daughter and I pray her wonderful spirit is felt in both of you.

Karen was a beacon of light and goodness. The world is better because of her. Her impact on oncology nursing and cancer care is deep and lasting. We are grateful to Karen and will miss her. ~Susan Bauer-Wu

My heart is heavy with the sudden loss of Karen. She was my radiation oncology sister and sweet friend. Her stellar career made a real difference to patients, families, colleagues and students. I will always remember Karen's kindness, elegance and forever youthful glow.
Lauren and family you are in my prayers.

I am filled with sadness upon learning about the loss of someone who has contributed so much to the profession of oncology nursing. Through her career, Karen has touched countless patients and through her work at UAB, countless young nurses. My condolences to her family and loved ones. We will all miss her.

Sending my deepest condolences to the family during this difficult time. As you continue to cherish and hold dear to the precious memories, may God bring comfort to you all by His love. (Jeremiah 29:11).
