Karen's Day at Shands

Karen wanted a place for family and friends to be able to see how she is doing each day at Shands. This is how she is making that happen.

Happy Birthday Karen!

April18

Happy Birthday to a beautiful woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend to many! We love her and miss her, but still feel the joy she brings into our lives – even since her passing. Karen showed us how to live, long before she found out about her cancer. Her tag line on Skype sums it up completely: “Life is good… and God loves us. Take time to enjoy your day, everyday.”

I would like everyone who comes by www.KarensDay.com or Karen’s Facebook page to know that your visits are very helpful to all of us who are still missing Karen and grieving daily. It touches us in the same way as the hundreds who came to the visitation and/or the funeral in January. It helps us all to know that Karen is thought so well of and so much by so many. She will be in the minds and hearts of many of us for the rest of our lives. She made such a strong impression on those she met. Karen treated people the way we all wish we could treat everyone we meet.

I thank her and ask God to bless her for what she taught us, for sharing her life and for the way she loved us all.

    Dear Don,

    I was thinking of you and Karen today and missing you both very much. Thank you for being brave enough to come back to Gainesville to see us all last month. Words will never be able to express my appreciation in being able to see you once again. I think of Karen often when I hold Olivia and wish that she had been able to meet her. Please tell Mom and Dad hello for me. I can only imagine the stories we would be sharing over new babies if you all were still in Gainesville. Hope you are doing okay. Please let me know if you make any trips to Gainesville. I would love to catch up with you again.
    Yours Truly,
    Leslie
