Please accept my condolences. Karen and I were both students in the Human Studies program. She gave me encouragement and advice as I neared my goal. I will forever remember how great it was that she took time out of an incredibly busy schedule to meet with me when I needed help. I'm sure Karen's family realizes how important she was to students.

To Karen's family, Most sincere condolences to all of you for the incredible loss you must be feeling; I merely knew Karen as a mentor and am heartbroken by her passing, so I imagine having the gift of her warm and loving daily presence now cease, is devastating. Karen was incredibly inspirational and encouraging to so many students, leaving an impact on the social work community through those of us who were taught by her. She offered guidance in balancing parenthood and student life by sharing stories of her experiences and expressing the insurmountable pride she had in her daughters and family. So thank you, for sharing her with world. May time ease your pain, but never diminish her legacy.

Dear Pirkko, Alex and Kelly. I am so sorry to hear of Karen's passing. What an accomplished young lady she was. My thoughts immediately went back to R.H. Murray school days when my children and yours were classmates, sharing good times together. At times like this, memories are such a blessing. May they carry you through this most difficult time.

My deepest condolences for your family's loss. Karen's fighting spirit was a bright light at Laurentian University. Her doctoral thesis was an inspired piece of original, interdisciplinary thinking which she pursued with relentless determination in order to achieve the highest standard. Her whole-hearted commitment to both the university community and the community at large was an inspiration. We shall miss her deeply.

No words can express the sadness I feel for your loss. Karen was more than a co-worker to me, she was a dear friend. Her positiveness, her smile, her laughter, her thoughtfullness and her determination will truly be missed. I was the first person she would see when she walked into the social work office, and she would always walk in with a huge smile and say "good morning sunshine!" I will miss hearing these words. She was such a BEAUTIFUL SOUL! Please know that I am sending prayers and hugs your way. She will always watch over her family xox

My deepest sympathy on your loss. I first met Karen when she enrolled in the PhD program where I worked. She was an avid student, always wanting to further her knowledge. Karen had this brilliant smile, even when occasionnally things were tough, whether for the people around her she cared for or herself. Nevertheless, she persevered and helped others do the same. She will be missed.

I did not have the good fortune to know Karen, but I know her father Alex from the volunteer community work that he and I shared. Karen's obituary illustrates the wonderful community work she did, and the old saying that "acorns don't fall far from the trees". My heart goes out to the entire family, and especially to Alex and his wife.

McCauley, Aho families, words cannot convey how badly we feel for you. What a shock for all of you and also a blessing it was peaceful and without pain for Karen. As you said in Karen's obituary, she would want you to go on in her memory. Alex and Pirkko you raised 2 strong women and I'm sure so did Karen. You must be so proud of all she accomplished in her short life. May that comfort you at this sad time in your lives.
