Fare Thee Well

“That is your legacy on this Earth when you leave this Earth: how many hearts you touched.” —Patti Davis

I had the privilege of meeting Karen and Dennis in the summer of 2009. Although it was only for a short time, they were both quick to take me (and my dog Phoebe) into the family fold. Karen was so kind, supportive. generous, caring, and lovely to be around. I admired her very much. From making good Nova Scotia fishcakes to quilting to edging a garden she taught me a lot during those few years. I was sad when we lost touch and a part of my heart is missing knowing that she’s gone. I will greatly cherish the fond memories I have of her.

To Dennis, Rob, Michelle, Mike, and Marianne, what you are all going through is unimaginable. Karen was an incredible person and the legacy she leaves behind of a passion for life and wholehearted love is an extraordinary gift. I know how much she loved all of you. Please know that my thoughts are with you.
