1 year ago you flew. Pain gone and battles ceased. Missed everyday, loved every minute. Fly high, until we are together again.

I am going to miss you. Somehow I know you are watching over the neighborhood from above.

I am so sorry for your loss. Karen has such a great sense of humor. I remember the "end of the driveway chats" where we would laugh and carry on. It was obvious how much she loved her family.

Mom it's been 1 week and 12 hours and20 minutes since you went to be with men and uncle den. It feels like it's getting harder each day, and going home to celebrate your life feels like a moment I'll just collapse. I will have uncle randy and aunty Cheryl by my side so I know I'll be held up by their love. I'm so lost and not sure what emotion to feel because they are all jumbled together. I live you.

Karen was a high school classmate of mine. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Elaine

Mom I can't put into words all the emotions. I know you will be at every game and every competition for Saige. You'll be there with Mel as she forms her path, and you are always with me. Until we are together again, I love you.

There are no words to describe the pain I feel in my heart. My only comfort is knowing that you'll never have to suffer again. You were and always will be my "bestie" I'll miss you....

Randy and the entire Cote Family: I am so saddened to hear about Karen's passing and so terribly sorry for your loss. She and I were friends in the 70's and had only recently reconnected through FB. I'll always remember her as a funny, charming, and warm-hearted girl who loved to laugh. May your memories of Karen fill your heart and help you through this difficult time. My family and I will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

To Karen's family, Karen always had the warmest smile and friendly greeting. I enjoyed seeing her on my trips back home. I really enjoyed online chats we would have. She is with God now and someday we will be together again. My mom and sister will always remember her kind ways as well. Peace and God's healing for all of her friends and family.

I was saddened this morning to hear of Karen's passing.. She was an awesome and a unique person and I am glad that I had the honor of knowing her.. Jenn, you may not remember me as the last time I saw you was o long ago, but she loved you and was so proud of you and her grandchildren and she beamed every time she spoke of you .. To Randy and family, I am so very sorry for your loss... My friendship with your family goes back many years .. I still remember Junior Achievement and the name of "Pinky" that I was dubbed back then .. May you find peace and strength and good memories through all of the coming days.. Dear Karen .. rest easy my friend.. I know you are up there watching over everyone <3
