Hello John. I am the artist that drew the picture of Kari you featured on the front page of this lovely tribute to what seemed a beautiful soul. I never knew your daughter, but when I heard of her death and the impact it had made on Kate, my ex boyfriend's sister, I was devastated. I knew the perilous road the tragedy happened on. After speaking with Debbie Sage about it, I was just inspired by Kari's light to capture her. I am flattered you found the picture worthy enough for such a page as this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and may you find mirth throughout this hard time. November is a hard month for me as well so I empathize and I will pray for you.

8-0 What a beautiful tribute to your daughter Sometimes when I miss Kari, I go to myspace to see her and reflect upon her life and friendship with Kate. Now I have this. I miss the girls being together and sharing in some of their fun and laughter. I know that her birthday is coming up and your whole family as well as her friends will grieve all over again. For that I am so sorry. I have been praying for you and will continue to pray for you and your family.
love always , debbie

We were very fortunate to have known Kari, though only a few months, every Wednesday night at REVOLUTION i would look for her and her cousin, David, because they were so awesome to chat with.
We will join her in Heaven and enjoy her company for ever. John, Denise, and Jesse, we love and apprecaite you.
