Karen was cruely taken from us at a time nobody expected. karen was a grandmother, a wife, a mother,
a sister, a daughter, a aunt, a cousin, a best friend and a vital part of the community. karen was
such a funny and easy going person and meant the world to everybody she knew. i knew karen for 6 and
ahalf years and as soon as i begun to know her i knew she was somebody special..karen was sooo
special she was a mum to me. karen would go to the end of the earth and back to help anybody who was
in need. Karen being taken from us has broken the hearts of SO many people and i know for a fact she
will never be forgotten.. we wont ever forget the crazy random things she used to come out with,
that laugh that you could hear from a mmile off.. the crazy curly hair she had a full head of and
most of the that massive heart of gold!! karen will sorely be missed and wont ever be forgotten.
I Will Love You Forever Karen.. You Will Always Be In My Heart xxxxxxxxxxx

Beccy stayed a bit longer so she could spend time with u a bit. . . Really misssing you , i go over the town sometimes forgetting that i wont see you.. Dave is doing well. But you probably are never out of his mind x . I better go. love u Karen x

Beccy brought me to see your grave today ..its Beautiful.
We had Alfie and Hollie with us and Alfie said that it was Karens pretty Garden... he was helping to water the flowers with Beccy and he told us that you said " Hi Alfie "!!
I expect you heard him having a natter lol and he kept stroking the little ornament cat you have in your Garden he said it was cute!!
As we wre leaving Karen you probebly heard him say goodbye to you and as we got to the car he said Goodbye to Zena too!!!
Bless him i think he sort of understands...Not that any of us do really as to why you had to go so soon!!!
Anyway i'm gonna come vist with Beccy and Alfie real soon and no doubt He will be chatting away to you...
Cya karen sleep tight xxxx
Her journey's just begun xx
Don't think of her as gone away,
Her journey's just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
This earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know today,
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched,
For nothing loved is ever lost
And she was loved so much.
Mum you never,
You never said "Im leaving"
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it
And only god knows why.
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true
I never wanted memories
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you
a million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same
But as god calls us once by once
the chain will link again.
All my Love forever Katrina xxx xxx

Karen lived her life with a capital L…..
and Karen often said “ live life for today because tomorrow you may be gone”
WE are all here today in living proof of how true that saying is.
An important part of Karen’s life, were YOU her friends, in fact, I was visiting David just before New Year and I found Karen’s calendar for 2009, she had already written down all birthdays and anniversaries with ages and years to be celebrated in her lovely hand writing…. I was SHOCKED at how each month was so full… and then realised why Karen owned a card stall!!
So,… why did Karen live her life to the full? , well , she was born that way, you only have to look at OUR mum to find out where she got her zest for life . Karen has always been the first on the dance floor and then the first to dance on top of the table!
I would like to read you a paragraph from a letter by Alison Whitney, one of Karen’s long standing friends who now lives in America, “Karen has been a light in this world and my memories of her wonderful caring nature will never leave me, she was my mum, as well as my sister and best friend “
Some of you here can agree exactly with those words. Karen had the unique ability to make you feel very special, as if YOU were the only one in her life; Karen cared…, loved... and liked to give...you would rarely leave Karen’s house or go out with Karen without her giving or buying you something… That is what made Karen happy, being able to give to YOU.
Many of us here today know Karen suffered a tragedy in her life, when she lost her daughter, Zena,….. at that point Karen could have sat on the sofa and just waited for her life to end, BUT she decided to live each day as if it were her last and crammed as much into it as she could, but she would not have been able to do that without YOU.
If you loved to laugh, you were Karen’s friend,
If you liked the warm sun on your naked skin, you were Karen’s friend
If you liked to Party, you were Karen’s friend
If you shared a drink or two or maybe even a bottle or two, you were Karen’s friend
If you nodded in agreement to any of the above, you have been left with an experience you will never forget!!
Whether you are an acquaintance, customer, friend, close friend, best friend or a relative, Karen could not have lived her life, so happy and so full without you………
Some of you were saddened by the news of Karen’s sudden death, while others of us here are completely and totally devastated…………..
we are wondering how we can go on… and what can we do now.
We can live our lives with biggest capital L… and… live our life for Karen as she lived HER life for US.
missing you
Hiya Karen, really missing you. I heard about your funeral, and the white dove, the really gorgeous flowers, you and Zenas grave. x What an angel you were, well actually u still are one, you laways will be. Just thought i would pop on to see how the funeral was. I wasnt there, but i heard lots about it. You were there though, you werent in the cophin, you werent up in heaven, you were standing there, next to your grave, with your friends and family. Then you went upto heaven with everyone to see them again. Say hi to Zena for me please, and your cutie Chookie. Everyone that went did us proud. Missin you
