  7. My Darling little sister Karen.
    The road of life is never smooth, always full of humps and bumps and hills you and I have climbed them all. But this time the climb was to hard for you, God saw that you were tired. And took you by the hand to be at home in Heaven with our loving family safe and sound. Rest in peace my darling girl, your in my heart forever.
    Your loving sister Carmen

How you endured with so many obstacles you had to overcome, always smiling , I will miss our phone conversations almost once a week .

  17. Dear Jeff, Belinda, Jason, Kimberley, Imogen and Indiana.
    Can’t believe Karen has left us all. 45 years of friendship will never be forgotten. We had some great laughs and many happy times together. You were always there to help others no matter what life threw at you. Kind, generous and loving to everyone.
    Im heartbroken and sad that I will never get to see you again and chat with you.
    But now as you find your angle wings you can be free from pain, upset and sadness and rest in peace beautiful lady.
    Give dad a stirring up there.
    You will be sadly missed by all.
    Love always
    Nerina, Graeme, Daniel, Amelia and Danny in heaven.
