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

Missing you

I was thinking of you and felt I should write. I saw Dave today for the first time, he is keep his chin up, just thought you would like to know eventhough I am sure you are watching over him anyway. He was all wrapped up warm, with his furry hat on and working with Adam. The stall was busy, you would have had me moaning about the cold though, it was a little nippy.

He said you were sunbathing and drinking sparkling wine, why does that not surprise me. You are missed in the town but your spirit goes on and will never be forgotten.
Missing you, as is everyone I see.

Erm i have only left one tribute to you, but it is not because i dont care, its because i find it hard to put how im feeling into words, so here it goes

I feel Depressed that you have passed on,
sad that i cant hear your voice,
Happy that i can still talk to you,
Safe because i always know you are there,
Excited because i will see you again one day
Tearful that you didnt get to live your life to the full.
Reasured because i have all of the lovley memories of you
Curious because i know you are out there somewhere But where?
Extatic for you because you are with Zena and your Kitty cat now,
Shocked that it has all happened so fast
Last but not least:
I feel hounoured to have known such a wonderful lady.

Love from Lily
P.S I REMEMBER WHEN YOU WAS PLAYING XFACTOR WITH US AND YOU SANG WATERLOO LOL!

rest in peace

Gone yet not forgotten, although we are apart, your memory lives within me, forever in my heart.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.

I think of you in silence I often speak your name All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake with which I'll never part God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane We would walk right up to Heaven And bring you back again

No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why

Our hearts still ache in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one will ever know

But now we know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store

Since you'll never be forgotten We pledge to you today A hallowed place within our hearts Is where you'll always stay

A RAY OF SUNSHINE

A ray of sunshine, Karen that was you,
Your heart was like a pot of gold, always shone,
Your smile, warmed everyone’s heart,
Hardly a thought for you, it was always for others,
Your eyes were like peals shining and bright,
You never complained,

You worked hard for the happiness that you had,
Lived life to the full even to the end,
Everyone that you touched,
Loved you, for who you were,

Spring time in winter,
Summer in autumn,
The love for life always shone through,
There are no words that can express,
The sorrow you have left behind,



However for many a year you carried a scar
Heavy in Heart
Of your Darling Zena,
Yet I saw her hands open wide,
At the gates of heaven,
Waiting for you,

Now your soul and heart can rest ,
You can walk with in heaven
With Zena, God Bless
However the ones you have left behind,
Will carry a pain in our hearts,
Till we all meet you again at heavens gate.

Karen, the news was unbelievable. Why you? You always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. People I have spoken to can't believe your gone, and nor can we. Jade is devastated and misses your welcome smile on Saturdays at the market. When they made you they broke the mold. Love always and forever. Dave, Sarah and Jade XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
