Tom,  Carolyn and I send our condolences to you and your beautiful family.  Karen and you were the perfect Navy couple.

Tom

I was so sorry to hear of Karen's death.  She was a wonderful partner and supporter for you and for many others.  It is quite unfair how much she suffered in her life, and one can hope that she has found peace now and that the pain is gone.

When you are able, please come to DC and have lunch with Hank and me, so that we can tell stories, some of which might even be true.

Yours in friendship and respect, Alan Morrison

Tom,
Saddened to hear of Karen's passing.  We so enjoyed our time on the ship with you two a couple of years ago.  Karen was so happy, lighting up the room with her smile.    
Such a beautiful woman, in every sense of the term.  Gone too soon.
As you said at your retirement ceremony, you are "a lucky guy" to have shared a life time of adventures with her.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Dennis and Kathie Bengtson

Tom, we only saw each other infrequently at JAG events or colleagues 
funerals but I always enjoyed our short
 chats.  Please accept my sincere condolences at your families loss.  I will keep Karen in my nightly prayers.

Tom, Paula and I send our deepest sympathy. We haven’t seen you and Karen for a long time, but our memories of “those days” are many and fond. And as we know, the toughest job in the Navy is Navy spouse. She was hero in that regard. Now Karen’s tour of duty is over. 
Bless her and you. 
John and Paula

Tom, Dot & I send our sincere condolences on the loss of your wonderful wife, Karen.  We know she fought hard against the cancer that finally took her.  God bless you and your family.

My memories of Mrs. Morrison  were that she was just so happy all the time.  Every time I would hang out with James at his house, she was so friendly and inviting to me and all of James' other  friends as well.  I remember one time though me and a couple other friends were waiting for James to get ready so we could go hang out somewhere.  While we were waiting Mrs. Morrison was preparing a chicken dinner for her and Mr. Morrison.  She randomly just busted out in song singing "chicken, chicken, I love chicken. "  It was silly, but it's a fond memory I have of how joyful and kind she was.  I still sing it myself every once in a while when I'm making chicken.  
I know her and James are reunited now, but they are two great people who will continue to be dearly missed on Earth.

Karen was so fun of life and love!  Her beauty, both inner and outer, were timeless!
Although we didn't get to see her and Tom y often, when we did see them, it was like we had just talked the day before.
She was sweet, kind and had a wonderful sense of humor!
My deepest sympathies, and love, to the Morrison family.



Tom -

I just learned of Karen's passing.  I wanted to add my heartfelt sympathies to you and your family.  You and your contributions to the law school have been profoundly important and I join all of our law school family in offering support and comfort during this difficult time.  Our thoughts are with you.  Jeff Gutman

Tom and family, thank you for those awesome photos of Karen and the family.  Much love, the Molinengos (Fran and Hank) and Slezaks (Jessi and Trevor) 

Karen was also so kind and fun to be around.  When she had her framing business, she framed headshot photos of my mom and dad, side by side, when they were first married.  She framed it in cherry and it is stunning.  I am not one who cares about stuff but this is the one thing I always want in my home wherever I am.  I cannot look at those framed photos and not think of Karen.  My condolences to Tom and the family from Fran and me.      Hank Molinengo
