Karen, you were beautiful inside and out . You were kind and caring and had the funniest sense of humour . I Used to love brushing your hair when it was long when I was a little girl and play hairdressers and you used to wind me up calling me “Beryl” . I still can’t believe you are gone. Family get togethers will never be the same again. Please keep watching over Remi, Harley-Rose your great grandson,Shae, Kimi and Koa. You will be the most beautiful guardian Angel . You are now back safe with Peg and Ken your beloved mum and dad . You are so loved and will be so sadly missed . Rest in peace love always 💕🕊️🌹🪽xxxx

Words are hard after over 30 years of friendship, we have laughed till we cried, supported each other through tough times and watched our children grow up together. We even ended up living on the same street. Passing your house every day now is like living in the twilight zone as I keep expecting you to come down those stairs with that big smile and then for us put the world to rights. I will be here for the girls and Shae. Till we meet again matie. Lots of love and our big hugs. Xxx

Karen, I still can’t believe you’ve gone. We had such a giggle at school. You touched the lives of so many children with your caring attitude. Edge Hill will not be the same without you.
Sleep tight beautiful lady. 😘❤️
