Memories and Condolences
for Karen Townsend

To the Townsend Family,
Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your Mom. There are some teachers that you always remember. Karen was one of those people. Whenever a parent leaves a child at daycare, you always look back to ensure they are well. With Karen, there was no need to do so. Her affection, warmth and love left us and our children with a strong sense of comfort. Karen will always have a place in our hearts - and memories.

Dear Jennifer, Jay and Scottie,

My thoughts go out to all who loved Karen. I had the pleasure of working as Karen's advisor while she pursued her Child Development Associate Credential. I can truly say that I have never been so inspired. Her ability to connect with people, young and old, was remarkable. I can still see her walking across the play yard with a line of little people following. Like little ducks, imprinted to their mother, the children experienced such joy following her lead. They knew a game would follow. She was always ready for fun. Perched in the overstuffed chair in her classroom, she always had a ready lap used in snuggling little ones. She knew just how to communicate with babies in a way that helped them to feel secure and valued.
Thank you to her family and friends for sharing her with us. Karen is already missed.
July 28, 2011
To Bill, Jay, Jenn, and Scotty -
We were all saddened to hear of Karen's passing. She was truly a wonderful lady and always had a smile for everyone who was lucky enough to have known her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless You All.

Words can’t express the loss we all feel, knowing that Karen won’t be returning to the Duckling room in the JCC, her home-away-from-home for the past 12 years. I hope everyone’s kind words about her and our prayers will make it a little easier for her children and grandchildren to go on without her. We’ll do something at the J in her memory, to help keep her spirit alive, and to honor her on behalf of the many children and their families whose lives were enriched by her.

Our family adored Karen-she cared for our daughter from her first day at the JCC and continued to shower her (and all her ducklings)
with affection long after they left room #5. Because she touched so many children's lives, her spirit will live on.

Jennifer, Jayson and Scott I was so shocked to hear of your mother's passing. We had some good times playing cards, shuffleboard bowling and just going out. It was a shame we lost contact but she will never be forgotten. She is now an angel to watch over all of us. Karen RIP

I'm so, so sorry for you and your family! I haven't seen your mother in years but I remembered all the great times down at the park and working in the concession stands when all the kids were little. I wish I could give you a hug and make the pain go away. But all the great memories you have will help you get thru this very sad time. You turned into a beautiful young lady and I'm sure your mother was very proud of all of you. I will get you and your family in my p rayers!

To Karen's family,
I am so sorry to hear of Karen's passing. This is truly a loss for all who knew her. I had the pleasure of working with Karen at the JCC for a few years and loved talking to her and being around her. She had a way with children that I admired and always knew how to handle every situation with a smile. Even after leaving the J, I would periodically come back to visit and whenever I walked into Karen's room I was greeted with the biggest smile and hug, along with a million questions about how I was doing. She was one of a kind and I will never forget her enthusiasm and beautiful smile that made all around her smile too. She touched so many people and I am honored to be one of them. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this sorrowful time.
July 26, 2011
Karen was a teacher and a friend to our daughters - Elyssa and Samantha - and to us. She cared for them from their first days in daycare, and continued to shower them with love, attention and discipline as if they were still her official Ducklings. Karen documented their first years with pictures, CDs, adorable daily & monthly reports and milestones - things a parent otherwise fears missing each day. She was supportive, genuine, funny and no-nonsense. Karen, we miss you so much. You will always be a part of our family and you will always be in our hearts.
With sympathy, love and friendship.....

To the Townsend Family,
We are so sorry for the sudden loss of your mom. We were out of town and unable to pay our respects in person, but we wanted you to know that our family will always hold a special place in our hearts for Karen. She was our daughter’s first teacher at the JCC. She had such a kind heart and her love for our daughter and the other babies in Room 5 was so genuine. We truly could not have asked for more and we will always be grateful. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Kate, Matt and Cameron Barry

Jen I am so sorry about your Mom, she was an amazing woman. I will never forget all the stories, our car rides home and how she inspired me to do nothing but the best. Also she was my support when I had my oldest daughter Bianca, who was trached at a day old. Your mom came to the hospital and spoke words of wisdom, telling me that God would not have given me her if I could not handle it. That meant alot to me. She will forever be in my heart. She along with your sister are your Angels guiding your every step in life. I now have another Angel guiding me also. I will never forget her.

My deepest sympathies to Karen’s family. I worked with her at the JCC for the last 6 years, and have taught many of the same children she did. We will miss her dearly at the J, the children especially will miss her. My heart is heavy, and I hope that the memories she leaves us with will comfort us during this difficult time.
RIP Karen

Kristen and Jason, I would first like to say that I am so sorry for your loss. This was a great shock to me. Karen was an amazing and inspirational woman. She herself went through rough times and came out stronger. When I had my first daughter she talked to me and made realize I could get through this little bump in the road and that there was a great future of happiness for me and my Bianca. For that I am forever grateful to her. I truly enjoyed talking to her at work and our car rides home were even better. These are Memories that I will hold in my heart forever. Please give my condolences to Jennifer and Scott. Rest in Peace Karen, no more worries. Now please be our Angel watching over all of us.

We were one of the lucky families that had a child in one of Karen’s classes at the JCC. With Karen we had no doubt that our son John was loved and cared for and he flourished with Karen and loved going in everyday to see her. Our deepest condolences are with your family and know that she will always be missed. We are forever grateful for all that she did for us and so many others.

July 25, 2011
Hearing about Karen was and still is a shock. To put it mildly, our family is truly upset. Our daughter Katelyn is currently in the Duckling room and we are extremely saddened by this news. As first time parents, it was hard to rely on daycare for care, but Karen made it comfortable. We trusted her completely with Katelyn and we saw a difference in her growth because of their relationship. Karen always greeted Katelyn with a big smile and excitement in the morning and was sad to see her leave at the end of the day. Karen gave us a lot of advice along the way and helped us adjust. She was so caring and loving in that way. She just wanted to help and she always new the best technique or trick to try! Kevin and I view Karen as one of Katelyn’s first “friend” and she will certainly be missed. This is a true loss for our family, the JCC, and all of her loved ones. Our prayers and thoughts are with each of you at this time. Karen will never be forgotten. She holds a special place in our hearts and we will always think of her and remember. Especially when she blew Katelyn kisses… Mmmaaaaauuu. That’s for you Karen from Katelyn. God Bless.

Dear Townsend Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Karen’s passing. I knew her a very long time ago, when Kristin was a little girl. I know that Karen was devoted to her family and worked hard to do her best as a Mom. She and Billy made lots of hard choices for their young family, but it sounds you all turned out to be wonderful people-a real tribute to both of your parents!
Karen’s legacy is “long and strong”. Her spirit will be with you always.

Dear Townsend Family,
As happens most times friends lose track of each other. I had just started dating a friend of your dad's when he and Karen were already dating. She was wonderful. Always happy and a great sense of humor. I'm sure she's watching over all of you and that she loved you very much. Take care.
Fondly,

Karen was such a wonderful person. She always put others before herself and never had a bad thing to say about anyone. Working with her at the JCC was one of the greatest experiences of my life and I am so grateful for that. The JCC will not be the same without her, but her presence is greatly felt there. RIP Karen...miss and love you. Keep an eye on all of us from heaven please :)

Jay, Scottie, & Jen I am very sorry to hear about your loss. Although its been quite a few years since we have all been together and the “original ball park kids” are now grown up I can still remember the many times seeing your mom down at the park and at the many “Townsend” events. She was always smiling and no matter how bad of a day she had if someone was down in the dumps she quickly said “well there’s always tomorrow"She will definitely be missed but just cherish all the good times and it will help you get through the hard times. Its what she would want from all of us anyways. Again Im sorry for our loss and you will all remain in my prayers as you go through this time.

My son, Dooley, loves Karen so much as all of the children she cared for do. Even after moving out of her class up to another class, without prompting, Dooley would request that he go to “Karen’s house”. He was never shy with her and trusted her completely. Her spirit was warm, kind and loving, and the children always felt that, as did the parents. She always had a smile to give and kept us well documented with photos and little notes at the end of each school day. She loved her kids and she has touched so many lives through her work and will not be forgotten. We all will miss her. Our sympathy to her family and coworkers.
Sandy Harrington
July 25, 2011
Like everyone that was fortunate enough to have a child in Karen’s class, we thought Karen was just awesome. My 2-year-old son, Dooley adored her and talks about her all the time. We were blessed to have known her and will miss her tremendously. She was a fine lady with the kindest of hearts. Thank you, Karen, for always being so wonderful.

Townsend Family - we are so sorry for your loss. Though we did not Karen directly - we know she was a strong and caring individual - whom raised her children to be the same. Based on knowing Jayson and seeing how he cares for his own family - we are sure she is proud and will continue to watch over you all!
Our deepest sympathy to your family - as you are in our thoughts and prayers!

Karen was my daughter Julia’s teacher this past year. We couldn’t have loved Karen more - she was so good with the babies and they all love her. Everywhere I look around my house, there are pictures of my daughter that Karen took, projects they did for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, notes she sent home about the kids, etc. She always said thank you for letting us care for your children. But the thanks are to her for the beautiful care she took of our daughter and every other baby that has come through the Duckling Room. We will miss her immensely, and give our sincere condolences to Karen’s family.
Kim Grieco
July 25, 2011
Karen was such a wonderful, caring person. She was one of a kind. When I first started working at the JCC almost 8 years ago, she somewhat took me under her wing. We had a wonderful working relationship and she slowly became a second mom to me. We shared teaching ideas, but most of all we shared laughs. I could always count on Karen for a great laugh at work! She touched the lives of countless children and families, and me as well. I am so fortunate to have known Karen for as long as I did. She will be greatly missed.

I was among the many lost kids that had the honor to know Karen for more then half of my 35 yrs of life. The running joke between us was that i followed her from job to job. She was my second mom. Someone i could go too and pour my feelings out to and she never judged me. I saw her go thru some very hard times and she never faltered. She had amazing strength and she shared that with everone that got to know her. She was also a great friend and coworker. People used to argue about who was going to work in the Duckling Room. Her laughter and smile were contagious. The kids lives she touched loved her and looked at her with deep admiration. Those of us that worked with her learned alot, laughed alot until we cried, and while we were with her got to see a true Lady in action. We will love and miss you Karen. Your journey with us has ended but now we have you up in heaven to finish your journey looking down at us and caring from a far. Im blessed to have known you. Thank you for all of the years of memories.

I worked with Karen all of the years( 12 I think) she was at the JCC. I think the greatest blessing came to Karen when she quit taking care of two year olds and started being a caregiver for infants and toddlers. She had really found her calling! She was so wonderful with the “babies”. She loved them and they loved her. It was truly a match made in heaven. Karen blessed all of the staff with the love and care she gave over the years to all of those children. She will be very much missed.I’m so glad I had the opportunity to work with Karen all of those years.
July 24, 2011
Karen was the first person I entrusted my daughters to and she
cared for and loved my daughters more than a parent could ever hope for. Even when my girls left her room she kept her eye on them and kept them in her heart. My family has many loving, fun memories of our time spent with Karen. Heaven has been blessed with a beautiful soul. Seanan, Dan, Kate & Madelyn Herrick

My thoughts and prayers are with you all in your time of grief.
