You have been in my thoughts a lot lately. When I get frustrated with situations and want to give up, I still hear your words of wisdom. "Don't ever let them see you quit, step back and look for another way" Thank you Karin for being a wonderful example of a strong woman and amazing mother. You're loved and missed.

I just wanted to say I watched my wedding video last night. You were dressed in all black, me in all white and we were in the background laughing and smiling about something...I wish I could remember what that conversation was about. But then again there were so many of those moments. I was happy to see you in the video but it pained me to watch for too long. I miss you everyday.

I look at Karin's picture (the one with the multi-colored parachute hoisted by many young kids)every day as it's on a wall in my office right behind my computer. She was very special. I cherish the memories when I was involved with the Boys & Girls Clubs and she ran programs. I later re-acquainted with her at Cronies.

Happy Mother's Day to one of the best Mother's I have ever known. You taught me so much without even realizing it. I think of you often and think "Now, what would Karin do...". I strive to be a Mother like you. Beautiful & Wise. You have a special place in my heart that can never be replaced. I love you and miss you dearly.

Happy Birthday Karin! I am down here celebrating your "39th" birthday again.. with your family and friends. I would only make this trip for you! It still seems strange to be down here without you.. I kept waiting for your BMW to pull up at the Burbank airport, radio blaring, the top down, and you sitting there with one of your many hats on. I will always miss you and all of the fun times we had.. I am sure between you and Pat, you will watch over me and try to keep me in line.. Love you Laurie

Karin, was a delightful, intelligent remarkably compassionate caring woman.. life is so short.. seems only yesterday that she stopped by with her two younger girls Jordan and Paige to say hello and visit their old house... Heart breaking sadness.. what a lovely lady.. and caring mommy.... Karin was my neighbor & first friend here on my street when I first moved here over 11 years ago.....Her fridge was always covered with photos of her kids and family and friends... we both did daycare.. My daughter and I both watched her two younger daughters, Jordan and Paige (that was my daughter Stephanie's very first babysitting job--Karin & Brian thank you for entrusting your younger girls with her)... and when the Hewlett's moved away the neighborhood wasn't the same... When Christmas rolled around she would bring over her homemade Kahlua (Yum)... When the kids got locked out I entrusted the Hewlett's with my housekey and Karin would let them in.. My kids swam in their pool while Karin watched them.. and when Ryan was born Karin brought over a gift for him with her 2 younger girls and held him for a while... She always answered her door with a smile and would invite you in to hang out for a while... Karin you are such an amazing person I wish I kept in touch with you after you moved away... Hugs to you and your family...Brian and family Karin was such a fun loving, happy, beautiful, kind, thoughtful, sweet, generous soul to me and my family and I just wanted to share those memories of mine with you.....

For days we've been struggling with what to say and finally came to the conclusion that no matter what we thought of we always came back to how much we will miss you Karin. We always enjoyed being with you at so many football games from Packers through High School. When that ended we looked forward to seeing you at Cronies. You always took the time to give us a smile and say hello. Our love and thoughts are with your family, who now have their own beautiful Angel.
May the Good Times Live on....

Karin,
I was blessed to have known you and I was privileged to call you my friend. Despite your wealth of friends, YOU were a BEST friend to ME.
After working and spilling beers together for nearly eight years (for me, countless years for you...) our friendship remained strong.
Shopping trips, lunch dates, cruising downtown, the Beamer, the Vette, the '62 Impala, jamming out to Hip Hop R&B, swimming at the Money Pit, bus trips to the Staples Center, Palm Springs, Marilyn Monroe's house, drinking “Green Eyes�, Bombay's, having Mark Walhberg touch me at that club in L.A., having VIP status everywhere went went, VHS football games, UCLA football games, camping at Buena Vista, Nacimiento, water skiing, thongs, keg stands, bar brawls... I better stop there.
The memories are endless. I will cherish them forever and you will always remain #1 on my Party Line Speed Dial list.
Thanks girl for always having my back and being the calm, cool, collected one with the voice of reason when everyone (ok...me) was being unreasonable. You allowed me to be wild and reckless, never partaking, but always egging me on. I trusted you. I felt safe with you. And I always knew you'd get me home in one piece.
I love you. I miss you. And I will never have another friendship like they one we knew and understood. Friends like those are few.
Thank you for allowing me into your world. You were a tough nut to crack, but once I forced my way into your life. I knew it was forever.
Until we meet again.
Your loyal side kick-Marisa
PS... Our code words and hand signals are still in effect!

Karin, I never had the pleasure of meeting you..but I know you through your daughter Jen...I am Jaime's mom and we are blessed our daughters are friends...and I followed Tyler ...through his high school years.
I know you are an angel because it shows in your children. you will be so missed.
