I have fond memories of spending time in Labelle at the family cottage with Karen and the entire MacNeil clan each summer as our families were great friends. The video tribute was beautiful to watch and brought back lots of great memories with Karen and her parents, Bud & Peal who were like grandparents to me. Karen will be sadly missed by her family but trust that she is having a wonderful reunion catching up with her Mom & Dad and is now in a happy place, free of pain.
Michele & Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Michelle and Family,

Michele, Bert, Billy and families -
At this time, just wanted to let you know that I’m thinking of you and wish you all comfort in those special memories you’ll always have of Karen – all the great times together and photos to treasure. My best memories of Karen were first as neighbours, working at Bowaters; then when she lived in the apartment at my parents’ home – where her door was always open for us to drop by for a visit, which we did and enjoyed very much. It takes a special person and I know Karen was well suited for senior care and would’ve certainly given her all in their care.
Michelle & Family

Dear Michelle;
My condolences are late in coming for whch I apologize but more than anything I am so sorry to know of your loss. Your mother and I had a history of school and work mates as well as being friends. I am afraid I did not know Karen was ill or I would have visited her when I was home. Please know how much I am saddened by her death and know that I share your grief …….
Please except our deepest sympathy. Your Mother will be greatly missed her love and courage during her time of illness was a light for us all.
