Karen

   The beauty of your laughter is so infectious, it lights up our eyes. It feeds our inner being with such love and warmth.

   Your ability to give so much laughter is so generous, especially in the throes of pain and is acknowledgement of your dynamism.
Unconditional laughter and love of life is your legacy

   To laugh in the face of such cruelty is a true ability of strength. You have inspired those who have nothing to fear. You have inspired those who have almost given up. You have inspired us all to embrace ourselves and to hold onto our laughter.

   Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, wherever you go your laughter and smile will always follow. It will always be with us

 Dedicated to Karen, who lost her battle with cancer, a crippling disease in so many ways. She was a truly brave and beautiful women.
