You were the best, most kindest, most giving boss ever. You always rejoiced in hearing about my latest shenanigans. You helped me through the tough times.
I wish we got to catch up just one last time.

My dear friend... was so exciting when you opened the shop... your dream was coming true. I watched you fight this cruel disease along with my own dad but you got a few more years grace than him. We had some laughs and you were so generous. I will forever cherish my Frida pillow. I miss you. All my love fly high. Condolences to jean and family

In loving memory of a wonderful person.
Didn't know you well. Other than the BC fundraiser breakfast. And the Cafe many times.
I didn't realise and it was so sudden.
I got such a shock. I miss you xo

The world has lost one of its special gifts. So many memories starting from early school days, to eating your incredible carrot cake at the cafe, at Womad dancing and singing with that cheeky smile. To your mum Jean and so many friends, we will remember Karen for the strong, loving, funny, kind and generous soul that she was. Gone for now buy never ever forgotten.
