Mark we are so sorry for your loss our hearts go out to you and your family, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I sure wish I had met Karen but she was lovely to get to know on SCS. She was a lovely, sweet, wonderfully creative person. Maybe she liked me because my name is Jean?? I know she had others in her life with that name. I hope lovely memories sustain you all.

Mark and Family,

  I am so very sorry for your loss.  Heaven has just rec'd another angel!  Karen was the most incredible soul- always caring for us even in her suffering!  I only met her online via a Zoom and am the recipient of a couple of her cards which I covet!  I met her on Splitcoast stampers, and admired her talent, but also her kind and loving spirit.  She will be remembered and celebrated by us! She has kept in touch with us throughout her journey and I am amazed by her loving heart!  I am honored to have known her. 

  Mark, may your heart be filled with loving memories of your dear hearted wife- and know she has made a huge impact on many lives she has touched! 

I pray that you will be comforted on memories of your life spent together. She is now in the arms of the Blessed Mother and Jesus too!

Mark, my heart and prayers are with you and your family during this sad time of great loss.

I came to know Karen through the beautiful cards she designed, crafted, and shared so generously at Splitcoaststampers. She was so kind and talented, and she will be greatly missed by the stamping community there. She was dearly loved by her Alpha Sisters and a very special soul.

I am so thankful that we have her remarkable gallery of work to inspire our stamping for years to come.

Mark and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Karen was a very special person, so kind and caring to everyone she met, in person or online in our stamping group. She will be missed so much by all who knew her. May loving memories comfort you during the days ahead. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, with my deepest sympathy. 

Dear Mark,

My thoughts and prayers are with you today and will be going forward. The other alpha sisters have said it so well about how wonderful Karen was to all of us. She was an irreplaceable  friend to me and I am so blessed to have had her friendship in these past few years. I am so sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences to Mark and the entire family. Karen was a good friend, whom I met through the stamping site, Splitcoaststampers. She brought joy to so many through her gorgeous cards, that she made, and her beautifully expressed comments on other individuals cards. She was a member of the Alpha Sisters group on Splitcoaststampers, and all of us loved her dearly. She zoomed with us when she could and was always so upbeat and just a joy to be with. Love and hugs to all of Karen's family and friends. May she rest in peace in Gods arms. 

Dear sweet friend.  Karen we met on a craft site and corresponded for over 2 years from one side of the world to the other. You were an inspiration to me.  Throughout your battle you were strong, courageous and never complained once. Your main concern was always to check on how everyone else was.  I will miss our online chats but will treasure every email I received from you and the many beautiful creations you made. Sometimes someone comes along who makes a difference in your world. Karen you did that. Rest In Peace dear friend. Thinking of Mark and your extended family. Love Jayne and Wayne, Perth, Western Australia

Karen, we’ve never met, but we have chatted so much through emails and letters.  We became so close; I called you my other sister.  You are an amazing, gifted, courageous woman, and it has been an honor and a blessing to know you.  Rest In Peace, my friend.

Mark, I am so sorry for your loss.  Karen was a wonderful friend to me, encouraging even when she was suffering. I am so happy to have know this beautiful soul.  You and your family and hers are in my prayers.

Mark,

I am so sorry for your loss. Karen was such a wonderful, kind, and fun friend that I was delighted to connect with on SplitCoastStampers. She was such a talented stamper and delight who left marvelous comments and was so encouraging. She is definitely missed.

My deepest condolences to you,

Catherine

Mark and family, sending you my deepest condolences. Karen will be missed by so many people! She was such a cheerful, bright light in our Splitcoast Stampers Group. Her beautiful cards were admired by all of us. They are our treasured keepsakes from Karen, now. I feel blessed to have known her! There are so many adjectives that could describe Karen: kind, thoughtful, supportive, gracious, caring and the list goes on. The memory of her brave spirit will be a constant inspiration for me and so many others. I will miss her deeply, and I know that I have an angel in heaven watching over me. God bless all of you during these difficult days.

Very sorry for your loss.  Thoughts and prayers sent your way.  

Mark, Karen was loved by so many. She was kind, gracious, loving, and never ever complained. She encouraged me many times as I care for elderly parents, even though she was in her own brave battle. 

Love and many prayers, Kathy

Mark you have my deepest and heartfelt sympathy. Karen was such a bright shining light to all those whose lives she touched. She was a kind and gentle soul and will be missed by many in her stamping "family".

Mark,

I worked with Karen a number of years ago in the Cancer Center - not only very kind and nice, but also so pretty - I think this just went through and through her.  I'm so sorry to learn that cancer took her away at such a young age.  My deepest sympathies.  

Mark I'm so sorry to hear about Karen. We worked together for several years in the Cancer Center until she retired. Karen was a beautiful soul with a beautiful smile and personality. I was blessed to know her. She will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to you. 

Mark: Not sure if you remember me. We went to Mayo High together and also worked at the Kahler in the mid-1980's. Very sad to read this. My thoughts are with you and your family.
