You were one of my biggest encouragers at school and a very good friend. Now I am fighting my own cancer battle and sure could use your sage advice. Still think of you when I see turquoise. You would not like the public system in education now. Rest well, my friend.

Kenny and family,
Jeff and I wish to send our words of comfort and to let you know that we are thinking of you. I worked with Karen for a few years and it was always a pleasure. Our children were both blessed by having her as their teacher. She touched their lives and the lives of many others. May you find comfort in the fact that she no longer has to endure. She loved you all very much.

Dear Kenneth and family,
I will always remember your wife/ mother for, not only the awesome person she was, but also for the inspiration and mentorship she was to a scared new teacher in 1986. I hope she knows as she receives her well-earned reward, that she reached 1000's of children who were lucky enough to have gone through her class and that she continues to reach them through me, a woman who learned a lot about the sacred art of teaching from her. She loved and often bragged about each of you. Kenneth, when I left St
G. In 2000,she was still a woman in love. When she spoke about you, she glowed like a new bride. I am sso sorry for your loss. She is, as Paul says, now " present with the Lord." Know that I am praying for all of you.
