Condolence & Memory Journal
I was fortunate to have reconnected with Karen a few years ago, after many years. My daughter is her niece, so it was fabulous to be back in touch. I was so saddened to hear of Karen's passing. She was such a kind soul. She will be missed! Deepest condolences to her family and friends. May she Rest in Peace.

I am sitting here, watching the video of Karen and still can not believe she is gone. Went to visit her yesterday and there was a sign she knew we were there. A bald eagle flew over us. It's all starting to feel real now, I will never see my friend again. I will miss you, Karen. More than you will ever know. I hope that you are up there, feeling well and that you are with Kenny. It gives me some peace to know that you may be with him. Fly high with the angels. I love you and miss you so much.

I am very sorry for your loss. Karen was a beautiful person, we reconnected recently and had planned to get together. I was happy to talk with her on the phone we spoke for over an hour as if time had not passed at all. Life passes far too quickly. Our bond was and remains a lifetime. Rest In Peace my dear friend❤

Hi Karen,
It was good to be able to smile at you being late to the church.
You were good at being late. You would call & ask if you could have 10 more minutes. Then when I went to get you, I would have to get out of the car, ring the bell as you were still not ready. I did not care. I would always let you drive as you liked to. We would be on the phone for hours, or going out shopping, or getting a bite to eat. We always ate in the car. I got the cooler to keep our Pepsi cold. I brought it up out of the car. I will miss all our times together. You really were a true friend. You would sign cards to me as twin & I would do the same to you, as you said we were like twins in so many ways. It is hard to not pick up the phone to call you. I listened to all the messages you sent. You are with Kenny now, tell him I said hi. I know how much you missed him. Melissa & DJ & Family, My heart & Prayers are with you all. May your Mother rest in peace. Like I said, I am here for you all when ever you need me. I have so many memories that I will treasure always, till we meet again. Love, Terry

Melissa, DJ & Tim,
I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's unexpected passing. We go back almost 50 years. I have a lot of pictures that you are welcome to if you would like from the late 70' and the 80's just reach out to me an we can connect. i think your families would enjoy seeing their grandmother back in the day.
I will forever treasure all the memories back when we built a business together with your parents.
Take Care,
Heaven has gained a beautiful angel. May she rest in eternal peace with Kenny.

Hi Karen, To see you yesterday just blew me away. I held your hand and told you I loved you very much. As I go through my FaceBook memories I see your comments on pictures you have written. It breaks all our hearts that you will not be around anymore. You did a beautiful job with your children and your grand babies are beautiful. I will miss you so much. Tell we meet again I just wanted to tell you one more time how much I love you

Dear Melissa & D.J., Please remember all the fun n adventures we all had together each year, when life was simpler we were all younger and material things were less important. I'll treasure, driving to see X-Mas lights, the park, the zoo, Chuck E. Cheese, celebrating birthdays Thanksgiving, Halloween and spending time together, your mom loved adventure in her younger days,,, a thoughtful generous kind person who loved all of you so much and did what it took to get what you all deserved to feel happy. I'll miss her n love you both dearly and always. Be in touch, know you are loved and thought about all the time,

Karen,
I heard the new and my heart broke and I broke down in tears. You were always a loving, sweet, kind person, one of the most beautiful souls I have ever known. I will miss our lunches and dinners, long talks and laughter. We shared a love for animals, and you always called me to help a hurt/injured animal and we made a great team doing our best to help them. You will be greatly missed. Until we meet again my friend. I love you

To the Barry family,
I've known Karen for over 30 + years. We shared special friendship thru our children. Karen was a wonderful person and will greatly be missed by all.
Karen, I remember our long talks several years ago!!! (You know which ones).
Give my love to Kenny because until today I miss him so. But now you will be happy to be with him and have your weekly outing for dinner. We love you Karen and may you rest in peace along Kenny. I'll miss you!!
Love,
Nancy Cormier
