It was an honor and a joy to be your high school counselor.  You and the rest of your graduating class will always live in my heart and memories as being kind, loving, smart and over the top fun...the laughter, tears and smiles that you and your friends brought to me will never be forgotten...the last time I talked to you it was as if it had been days since we had last spoken instead of years...you had completely grown up except for that beautiful smile that remained the smile of a 17 year old...rest my lovely girl...you will not be forgotten...

You've left such a hole in our lives and hearts, Karen. The world isn't as bright with you not in it. Our family will think of you and speak of you often.❤️

Can’t find the words to truly express how I feel so I’ll put it simply. Karen thank you for always welcoming JJ and I into your home with open arms. Thank you for allowing us to be apart of every family dinner, cook outs, and hangouts even when you didn’t want ANYBODY there JJ and I were still welcomed. Thank you for the countless football, basketball, and baseballs games that we all watched together. And most importantly thank you for allowing us to be apart of your life. We’ll truly miss you Karen... 

Love, 
Titán and JJ 

Karen 
I miss you and love you so much. It will never feel the same when we come to visit and we now wont see you. You were a great mother and tia you always gave me such good advice and I'm blessed my son got to spend time with you the way I did as a kid
We love you 
Rest in peace 🦋

Karen and I were in the dance team in 9th grade at Los Fresnos Highschool. We did a routine together and I remember practicing at her house. I remember going shopping for our outfits. She was a great dancer and I looked up to her. I remember what a kind and fun girl she was. The last time I saw her, she was working at a doctor's office. My dad had an appointment. He had a bad car accident. It was a difficult time for our family. I remember how nice she was to us. We talked for a while and it was so comforting.  I also remember how we always talked about having the same birthday.  So many good memories.  You are in my prayers Karen. My condolences to the family.  Praying for strength, healing, and peace in this difficult time.

I love and miss you Karina ❤️❤️❤️ 
You'll always be in my heart for the rest of my life

I know we only met a few times but those times were good times & I know you were a really kind, funny & special person. I'm so fortunate to have known you beautiful & that one time you said that my spiritual, long paragraphs of inspirational stories inspired you. I will keep sharing godly quotes because of you. May you be in God's loving arms! You will always be remembered & missed beautiful!❤

We all lose  friends... we lose them in death, to distance, and over time . But even though they may be lost, hope is not. They key is to keep them in your heart and when the time is right, you can pick up the friendship right where you left off. Even the lost find their way home, when you leave the light on.
We will always remember you Karina 

Missing you already karen you will forever live in our hearts ❤️  I will cherish all the memories we have together and never forget that Beautiful smile.... 

When Braulio first introduced me to you, you were full of happiness & with a big smile on your face. You treated me so nice & like family. You made me feel so comfortable in your home & I'm forever thankful for meeting you. I didn't get a chance to take any pictures with you, but i won't ever forget your smile or face. I promise to try and keep "Bayito" out of trouble.  Although, I'm not family I left my favorite memory of you.  May you Rest In Paradise Karina.

                                                                    -Love, Reyna

Your Beautiful Smile Will never be forgotten!! Rest In Peace Karen!
