Sorry this took so long. I just want to say that I really Miss You an loved your Smile. Kari your made my day every time I saw 👀 you an we chatted and laughed about life itself. I Miss you dearly!!               Dave Krych

Grandma you were the best grandma ever. You always made everybody laugh. I remember when you talked Chinese and it was hilarious. I remember when I was little you would watch me during the day and you would always make me dinner. You would always make me either pork chops, chicken, or meatloaf with mash potatoes and green beans. It was delicious! You always put a smile on everybody’s faces. I’ll miss you and love you so so so much!❤️❤️

Mom I miss you so much! You were the most amazing, strongest women I have ever known. Having our talks or just coming over to my house Was the best. I’ve never told you or anyone this but when we would have our talks you would always say “ lord have mercy”. There was something about those words that made me smile and gave me comfort every time I got off the phone with you. You were my rock. I love you so much! 

Mom,
I miss you so much! It still seems like a dream. You were my best friend!! I would call you 3-5 times a day to talk or get advice. You were my biggest cheerleader in life! You always knew exactly what to say! I am going to miss hearing your voice and seeing your beautiful smile! I know you weren’t big on getting your picture taken but I am glad all of us found many pictures of you from years past to present. It helps me cope with losing you. I know when I get married or have my first child you will be right by my side; guiding me and cheering me on. You will always be in my heart, but know a piece of my heart went with you in heaven ❤️ Rest In Peace my beautiful mother! One day we will be together again! I love you forever and always!

Kari, I am so proud to call you my mother in-law. You were so strong and beautiful both inside and out. I love you so much and miss you more than words can say. I'm so thankful I got to know you and have you in my life, I only wish we had more time. I'll never forget the conversations we've had over the years, you were never judgemental and I could tell you anything.  You accepted me as part of your family, you were always there for me and I am so grateful for that. I remember the first time TJ got stung and I called you just freaking out  and you just laughed and laughed at me and then you told me that story about his dad... honestly that probably made it worse but I will never forget that wonderful laugh of yours! To this day any time either of the kids get stung I think back to that moment and I always will. You impacted my life more than you probably ever knew.  I know I was just a small fraction of your life, but you were a big part of mine, I always looked up to you. You were such an amazing person.  I only hope I can live up to be half the woman you were. You were one of a kind and you will be dearly missed for it. I hope I get to see you again, but either way you will always live on in my heart. I know we are only in-laws, but I feel it's deeper than that...your my family.  I just hope you know how special you are to me. It's heartbreaking to have to say goodbye so soon.  You truly touched my life, I will always love you and never forget you.  Rest in peace

Love always, 
Michelle

Grandma I love you so much, I hope I see you again. I love how you would always watch me do cart wheels and laugh and say "Good job Pryce!" And when you watched me jump on the trampoline it felt so good knowing you were there. One of my favorite memories was when we had a picnic at rocketship park. We ate KFC then you watched me go down the slide and the pole and you always encouraged me! I was happy you were always there for me. I wish I could see you again and hug and kiss you. I miss you so much grandma you were the best! I will always remember you,  you will hold a special place in my heart forever. 

Grandma you mean the world to me, words can't express how much I love you. I remember always coming over you would let me and Pryce play in the yard and you would watch us.  One of my favorite memories is when you and grandpa came over and were had a bon fire! You watched me ride my bike with one hand and yelled out "Cool!" Your words were always so encouraging like when I tried to do front flips you always told me to keep trying! I love you, you were the best grandma.  I wish I could hug and kiss you again. I miss you and I will never forget you,  you will always have a special place in my heart!

We didn't see each other to often, but when we did I really enjoyed our friendship together. I loved our short talks an laughed with you at some of the Goofy things we said. I am Deeply Sorrowed that you left us. I will cherish You, Kari in my heart. You are with our Heavenly Father now. May Peace be with You.... 

Dear Lindahl family,
I am so sorry to hear of your sudden loss. Kari was a big part of our Andover family growing up and I remember how sweet she was to me and my sisters. One thing that stuck with me about her, and I’m not sure why because in the grand scheme of things it’s kind of silly, but I’ll tell you anyway..She made THE BEST ramen soup. I remember as a kid watching out my window waiting for Trina or Trent or Trisha to coming running outside with their bowl of soup and I would beg my mom if I could go have lunch across the street. Kari never said no, and that ramen was the all time best! My mother, Linda would like to send her deepest condolences as well. Saying “She was a strong lady having all those kids, and always smiling and happy. That’s how I remember her.” Love and prayers to you all.

My mom was a saint.  There are no other words to use.  You have to be a saint to raise 6 kids right?  I know we didn't make it easy for her but she did it.  She did it with everything she had and she did it with love.  She would always put us first.  She was a simple lady.  She never wanted the fancy things and didn't ask for much. 
My mom was a passionate hockey watcher.  I remember her saying when she was younger she loved being on skates.  She loved Pepsi and chocolate too! Haha. 
My mom was the best grandmother.  She was so proud of each and every one of those kids.  She always said she thought she had the best looking grandchildren.   I know the granddaughters enjoyed their time with her and they felt like they could tell her anything without judgement.  I loved how much she loved them.
She would make friends with our friends because she was so easy to talk to.  So many of our friends think of her as a second mom.  I loved that about her.  
One last thing.  She was the strongest person I know.  She was from the last second of her life.  If I could be one ounce like my mother then I will do right by her.
Mom you are missed dearly.  And will be forever. It will be hard to go on without you in our lives.  I love you so much.
Your first born Tami Lynn


My Beautiful Mom, 
I don’t even know where to start. I never expected or wanted this to ever happen. I still feel it’s a bad dream and I’m going to wake up,  call you and tell you what happened. Then I realize it is real and you are gone.  You have taken a piece of my heart with you.  You were the best mom to me and grandmother to Maddy and Mason. You will always be my one and only best friend. I will cherish my memories of you forever. I miss you so much and love you forever. 

Love you- Tanya

Kari, 
Thank you for always being there for anyone who needed you. Thank you for always coming to family events and even celebrations, you hold a special place in everyone’s lives. You will never be forgotten, you have left all of us way too soon. It doesn’t feel real that you’re not here with us anymore, but I hope you’re having the time of your life with little grandma sharing stories, laughing and smiling down on all of us. We’re going to miss you, I love you kari. 
Love, 
Lindsey 

Kari, 
You were a wonderful person. You were a great wife. You raised wonderful children. You were adored by your grandchildren. Your sudden loss was shocking, devastating, and heartbreaking.  I pray for your entire family. I pray they find peace. I pray they cherish the memories. I pray they find joy & comfort. 

Guy, and the rest of the family- 
My heart goes out to you. We are sadden by the loss of Kari. We are sending our love, thoughts & prayers to you all. 

I’ve been a good friend of Tami for over 21 years. Kari was a wonderful lady, a loving mother and grandmother. My condolences for the loss of Kari. May she always be remembered for the amazing woman she was. My heart is with the entire Lindahl family. 
Love,
Angie

I was and I am still deeply saddened by the news of Kari passing unexpectedly. We go through our lives with a normal routine but a sudden loss brings to reality that life is too short. We don't expect to lose someone that has always been there. And Kari proved so often that she was always there for you. She was more than a sister in law to me, she was a mother figure in my youth and she was a friend as I became an adult. We always picked up right where we left off the next time we saw each other. Kari was a great competitor and never stood down. She would defend the ones she loved and cared for. She was a great mother who would do anything for her children which translated easily into grand-motherhood too. Kari was always shining, a bright big smile and her golden hair. She was always fun to be around and I will miss her dearly and hold my memories of her closely to my heart. 

Love you always!

Grandma you were truly one amazing person. You were the strongest person I knew. Everyday goes by and I think to myself about how much of a good person you were to many. The memories and funny stories I have of you like, talking Chinese and when we brung you to Benihana’s for the first time, you asked for a “senior discount”. I will miss the hugs from you. I loved spending time with you and having long conversations about just anything that were on our minds. You always helped me during times I struggled. Grandma I just want to tell you that I love you with all of my heart and I always will. You left a great mark down here. Fly high sweet angel.

MOURNING SON

Every morning I awoke life went on as normal. Going through the motions, everything felt eternal. But as the sands of time fell, so unexpecting. Creation meets death, a cruel intersecting. In the wake of a moment all light within just fades. Sorrow took my hand and lead me further away. Falling into dream, I tried to escape this reality. Darkness touched my heart, becoming the next casualty. Fighting my way through this, finding a reason to move on. I remember everything you taught me, why I've become so strong. I will never forget you, I will feel you forever. You are a part of my heart that can never be severed. Canonized! A great mother I must grieve. Now you've become a saint. Something bigger I can believe. Everyday that I wake, this mourning takes the night. I am your proud radiant Son, your legacy will burn bright.

Kari was my very first best girl friend we were next door neighbors.  The scar in Kari's chin was because we were climbing on my parents car and she slid off and cut it on the licence plate..
 Our parents were also besties. Helen was my other mother.  I remember being crushed when the Spear family moved from Des Moines to Illinois.   We stayed friends we wrote letters to each other and we visited often.  Then then the Spear family moved to Anoka.  We continued to write to each other...still recall the address I wrote it so much.. 1018 Sunny Lane.   Pollpeter's continued to visit Spear's.   We used to go on vacation in the summer and celebrated  New Year's together with the Spear family.  Kari, Christy and I made a lot of great memories!   Unfortunately, I lost touch with Kari after we both graduated from High School and started our families.  She will always have a very special place in my heart!!
GOD BLESS and RIP my friend

Kari was the best Aunt in the world!! She was like a second mom to me. My cousins and I grew up so close together that they were always around. I could always count on her being there for us. I remember numerous sleepovers and hanging out at grandma's house with Tami and Tanya complaining about our mom's to grandma, while our mom's sat by laughing at us. Kari was the only other person that was in the delivery room when my daughter was born, besides my mom and Sam's dad! Kari had the best sense of humor too. There was this one time us kids were playing in the park and everyone decided to bury my legs in the sand, they couldn't get me out and we told her. She thought it was so funny to tell me they had to leave me there or cut my legs off, I didn't think it was so funny, but she got a good laugh. I'll never forget that. Now I say that same stuff to my kids, haha!! Kari, I miss you so much already! This doesn't seem real. I love you! Give Grandpa and Grandma hugs and kisses from us!! You'll never ever be forgotten, I promise!! 

Kari, I was totally in shock when Lisa called to tell me of your passing.  I don’t remember a time in my life that I didn’t know you.  The kids of “Wedgewood Rd. Remember that dance party we had on our back porch?  All of y’all are in that tape, my son put it on YouTube under Nichols Family. If I can find it I will send it to Kristy. 
Please know that I am praying for you & your family. I know you’re up there with your mom & dad Gerald and Helen and your grandson. You have left a mighty impression on this world.  Lot’s of love from your friends. Randy & Shelly Nichols Samo ❤️
