Condolences

Condolence From: Tammie, Paul and Tyson
Condolence: Dear Auntie Jeannette, Uncle Ben and Kevin, I am so sorry to hear about Karen. What a devastating shock! I didn't really know Karen but I feel like I did. Whenever Mom came home from her visits she always talked so highly of Karen.The passionate way she took things on in life (dragon boat racing,her house,her horse,her music, her fitness and yoga). She had such strength and compassion, so full of love of family, friends and animals. She was an amazing woman and will be forever missed. Lean heavily on family and friends and treasure all the wonderful memories of her life. So Sad, We Send Our Love-- Tammie, Paul and Tyson

Condolence: DEAR JEANNETTE, BEN & FAMILY ....We were so sad to
learn of your loss. Karen was a fighter from day one, obviously in more ways than one. We did not know of her recent illness struggles but understand she faced this with the courage and conviction with which she faced life. We share in your loss and know that Don & Colin and her brother Kevin will be left with many great memories of the one they loved. Our hearts and prayers are with you all.

Condolence From: Audrey and John Hungerford
Condolence: Dear Don and Colin.
We extend our sympathy to you as you mourn the loss of your wife and mother. We will remember Karen as we last saw her in Hillsborugh. She was happy and enjoying being with family and happy describing your new home. She was so brave at the same time because she did not describe the pain she was suffering. She will be remembered and cherished for her love of family, life and nature and missed greatly by all who knew her..

Condolence From: Karen McKeown
Condolence: I feel so lucky to have known Karen. She was a beautiful person inside and outside. She often spoke of her love for her family. I loved how competitive and strong willed she was. I will always remember that great smile of hers - especially when we won a race.
