Karen and I became fast friends during our trip to Punta Cana and I continued to treasure our friendship all of the days since and especially since her illness. Karen loved the beach and we talked many times about planning another trip, but sadly that was not to be. My last words to Karen just a few days ago were "Meet me at the beach!" I will miss you so much and wish you peace. To the Scarlett family, I send my deepest condolences. My dear friend Kim, her sisters Bev and Brenda and her dear parents, who I have grown to love. I give you my love and support now and always. With Love Cathy

Matt, Chris and Abagail - My heart aches for you. Your Mom was a good friend, neighbour and walking buddy and I have many fond memories of time spent with you guys, Teddy and Sarah when I lived in London. After I moved back to Newfoundland your Mom and I kept in touch, especially over the past year during her illness. No matter how poorly she felt she never complained and was so brave. I will miss hearing her answer the telephone, always a smile in her voice. I have lost a good friend. You three were the light of her life. Take good care of each other. You are in my thoughts. My sincere condolences to your family. Nadine.

Dear family, I knew Karen when she was working in Kitchener at the KW hospital. We have fun times skiing and hanging out together with Sandy. She had a smile and a twinkle in her eye that I will remember always. May God Bless you all and this difficult time and may your memories of this special person be a comfort to you! xox
