Condolences & Memories (14 entries)

• Hi Doug, Jennifer and Krisjan: I think of you and pray for you every day, knowing how much you miss Karen in your day to day life. She would be Sssooo proud of you! Now that 7 months have passed since Karen's passing, you 3 have managed to go on and continue to do the things Karen loved too! I saw a picture of your amazing decorations at Halloween...Fun things that Karen always loved to do. Keep doing them! It is Nov. 25th today, and I remember it is 3 years now since Karen's diagnosis of a brain tumour, and about a year since her hospitalization after the seizure. I'm so glad Karen was such a big part of my life, and that she let me be part of hers...She showed me how to have a lot of fun! With Love, Maria. - Posted by: Maria Nickel (Friend, room-mate, co-worker) on: Nov 25, 2013

• I am sorry that I was unaware of Karen's passing and would have liked to have attended her funeral service. Karen just glowed when planning her wedding and so happy when Jennifer and Kristjan were born. She was such a smart, witty co-worker. She exuded a sure confidence in her work. I've thought about her many times and prayed for the family. With love, Barbara Ruhlen, HSC, Emrg - Posted by: Barbara Ruhlen (former workmate) on: Jun 05, 2013

• Mes plus sincères condoléances à vous Doug, Jen, Kris and to the Family and to the extended family. Karen brought many laughs to my life, LOOOOTS of good memories and a good dash of sarcastic humor which helped me surmount many challenges… She tried on many occasions over the last 20 years to correct my dangerous English syntax, with and without success and it brought us many smiles along the way…. Many thanks to have shared Karen. I can only smile thinking of “what is going on” in Heaven now… - Posted by: Sylvie (friend) on: Apr 26, 2013

• I was overwhelmed with sadness to hear about Karen's passing. She was a wonderful friend and although we didn't see each other often after I left HSC Emerg, we could always pick up as though we had only seen each other. Karen was one of those special "angels on earth" who always knew how to make a person feel better when they were having a rough day and was supportive and sensitive and had a wonderful sense of humour. Karen was especially kind to me during some tough times and I will always hold her close in my heart. She was never happier or more proud than when she was with her perfect little family....Doug and Jennifer and Kristjan....it was an honour to call her my friend.......with love and prayers....Kelly Campbell - Posted by: Kelly C Campbell (friend and old coworker) on: Apr 25, 2013

• I felt very lucky when our life paths crossed again after 20 years, when a move made us neighbours. Karen's poise and humour hadn't seemed to change a bit given her challenges- her bravery was admirable. My sincere regrets to all of Karen's family. Rest peacefully.
