Woke up this morning from a dream in which Karen appeared.
I was a fellow student from grade school [7-8, maybe 9-13]. We were never really close but but I always found her to be a kind, loving person.
The person in the dream was similar to the image I found online, and how I remember her. The name Karen Menyes was attached to the dream.
For those who believe in spirit, you will find this comforting; I do.



My apologies as I have quietly and silently mourned the loss of my sweet cousin Karen.  We shared a name and we shared so many memories in our youth.  It is hard to believe that so much time has passed since her presence was missed on this earth.  I remember her quietly and often.  She was such a life force, by staying silent for me I was able to move forward as if she was here.  As yet another May passes; I remember all the funny life experiences we had together.  She will forever be a part of my life.  I love and miss you sweet Karen.

Karen, God Bless you always...
You were truly a beautiful person inside and out...

Well it has been 1 year since Karen left us.  A day does not go by that I don't think of her.  My memories of her are kept alive and I treasure my time with Gary, Kaitlyn & Christopher.  I am looking forward to hiking up Blue Mountain this coming weekend in honor of Karen and will visit her plague in Memory Lane.  I will have a few minutes to reflect on our time together in the past and it looks like it will be beautiful day on Monday.  I'm sure Karen ordered it for me.  I love you girl!

Words could not explain how I felt when I heard that Karen had passed away.  I didn't directly work with her but I worked beside her.  I was on a flight to Athens and she was working in the back alley.  Her quick response to my motion sickness was like she was my Angel.  She had that Gravol for me just like a Mom would do.  Karen will be very much missed but never forgotten your memory and smile will linger forever in my heart.  Rest in Peace Karen and my Condolences to her Family.

Karen will always be in our hearts.  Karen was such a strong person.  She lived her life just the way she wanted to even though it was cut short.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and your families.

Dear Gary, Kaitlin and Christopher,
We were so sad to hear of Karen's passing. She fought long and hard to stay here where she really wanted to be with the family and friends she cherished. 
I met Karen 28 years ago when I first started skiing in Collingwood with my new boyfriend, now husband, Kevin. We skiid every weekend with such zest and passion as I tried so hard to keep up with Karen. I can remember saying every week, " I wish I could ski like Karen". She was inspiring and infectious.
Karen will be greatly missed.
Our hearts are with you at this time.
Much Love, 
Denise, Kevin and Kayla Tateyama

Karen,
You have touched the hearts of everyone you knew. You were so beautiful,courageous,loyal, loving and you had a wonderful sense of humour. You were an inspiration to all of us. I will never forget you, my dear friend.  I loved you so much.  My prayers and thoughts are with you.

I write this message with great sadness. Karen's strength, determination and positive energy was an inspiration to us all. Not a flight went by without her mentioning her wonderful family; stories always told with a smile on her face and a sparkle in her eye. To Gary, Kaitlin and Christopher, I am so sorry for your loss. Karen has touched our hearts. May the wonderful memories of such a kind gentle soul live on forever.

My sincere condolences to the family. It was a great pleasure that I had the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person. I will alway remember those wonderful moments.

Karen, the smile that I will never forget that always brought a smile to my heart.  May God and the Angels comfort you during your time of passing.

Gary I was heartbroken when Luis called to tell me the news of Karen’s passing. It has been to many years my friend since we last saw each other but never has one past by that you and the entire family have not been in my thoughts. Karen lit up your life from the day you two met and even though she is no longer physically standing beside you I am sure that flame will continue to burn. All our love to you, Kaitlin, Christopher and both the Menyes and Gasparini families. Michael, Terry, Samantha & Zachary Field

Karen, you loved, you laughed, you lived!

"Love is like a butterfly;  it goes where it pleases and pleases where it goes" (author unknown). This reminds me so much of you.  I will forever cherish memories of you.  I was so lucky to have you in my life.

God bless you and your beautiful family.  I will love you and miss you forever.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Menyes (and especially Marlene and all your family: Please accept deepest sympathies from myself,David, Michael, Patty and Norman. The news was a shock to us; but be comforted by the knowlege that she loved  and lived and experienced more of life than most people  30 years older ever do!  The few times we had talks at weddings(so much fun there) I was impressed by her vivacity and enjoyment and exuberance for life and her laughter. She truly enjoyed her (much too short ) life and loved all her family very much. Please let that thought bring you a bit of comfort, also that she is now at peace and free of pain and sickness. She was truly a beautiful person, both inside and out. Again, deepest sympathies, and in the future may your memories bring you  some comfort. Most sincerely, Karen McNorton.

Gary, words cannot express the sadness we felt when we received the news of Karen's passing. You , Karen, Kaitlin and Christopher will always be in our hearts. Be strong my friend.
Love always,

Our deepest sympathy for your loss.

MINA WANKA

Karen has been a bright light for as long as I can remember.  Our parents used to visit back and forth and while the grown-ups had coffee and kuchen downstairs, Karen and I would play together upstairs.  Our entire lives, our paths criss-crossed at family event, church or the club.  Her bright eyes and big smile made her stand out in any crowd.  Whether at the Transylvania Club or St. Peter's youth group, you always knew when Karen was in the room.  She was beautiful inside as well as out.  

When I went though chemotherapy 8 years ago, Karen called with kind words of encouragement and courage.  I really appreciated her candid and informative comments that came from the heart. 
 
Last time I spoke with Karen, she talked about her continuing struggle with cancer.  She encouraged me to continue to keep fighting back against our mutual enemy.  As she continued her own fight, on the outside she always seemed to have hope that she could beat her illness.  

Too young, so much to live for, so brave, such a beautiful spirit, such a loss to her family and friends.  She will be so dearly missed.

Karen. It was great to have worked in the sky with you and to have enjoyed this beautiful world in our moments together.  
  
Now your work is done and the sky is yours forever. 

Peace and comfort to your family.

GARY:Gino and I extend to you and your family our deepest sympathy.You are all
in our thoughts.
Gino & Laurene Berdine

Karen knowing you for all these years some how seems like a blink, your friendship was so sincere and your energy and courage admired, we'll miss you, you are in our thoughts and prayers.  Love Donna, Terry and UE

My sincere condolences to the family, friends, collegues and espacially her husband and children. Be courageous. God bless you.

Gary, I am so sorry for your loss. Our deepest condolences to you and the kids.I had only met Karen a couple of times and she was always very friendly. Remember the good times you two have shared and hopefully that will help you to get through this very difficult time. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Gary and Family,
Everyone who knew Karen will have special memories of her.  Like many, ours are of an amazing skier, with the competitiveness to always set the bar higher, and the compassion and personality that made everyone want to be her friend.  She will be greatly missed by us all.
Take comfort in the memories that you have
 and in the love that you shared.
