I was so shocked to hear of Karen's passing. She was a classmate of mine at Catholic Central in Binghamton, NY.  I was looking forward to her coming to our 50th reunion this summer.  I will always remember her laugh and the twinkle she would have in her eye when she was up to something.  I am so very sorry for your loss. My prayers for her family.

God sends angels to your life, and without any doubt, Karen is and will be a beautiful angel that with her grace, love and friendship made me a better person.

Dear Karen (My Sunshine), you will always have a special place in my heart, I LOVE you Girl


My thoughts and prayers are with Karen and her whole family. I had the pleasure to meeting Karen through our work in the BCD Prod&Sol team and I will always carry in my heart her teachings, her passion for work, her courage, her love for her husband and her stories with Bella Moon.

Now God has an angel beside him

With love,

There are no words that can be said to make things easier for you during this sad time.  I did not know Karen as well as the other people on our team, but for the short amount of time that I was able to work with her left an impression on me.  She will always be remembered as a courageous, patient and lovely person.  I am glad I was able to know her.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief… and unspeakable love.  — Washington Irving

I am so grateful to have had Karen as a friend and colleague...a beautiful soul...unwavering smiles always...

To you Karen and your Family
The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.



To the family and friends of the deceased, 

My name is Robinson and I would first like to offer my sympathies for your loss. I understand it is a very difficult time, but I wanted to share with you an important message. Death is one of the hardest things to cope with, it seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. Often we feel that nothing can ease the pain of losing those close to us. Yet one of the best ways we can find comfort is through the scriptures. In fact, many scriptures in the Bible have helped others to cope with the very same feelings you are going through. For example at Acts 25:15, it says, "and I have hope towards God, which how these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." This scripture indicates it is possible to be reunited with your dead loved ones in the near future. Study of comforting scriptures like this has personally helped me to cope with life's constant struggles. It gives God's view of matters and tells of better time we can expect in the future. So for more information on Bible promises, scriptures of comfort, and personal studies of the bible see www.jw.org.
