I received Kari's cookbook from a neighbor as a gift about a month ago. She said something about a tribute to Kari, a relative, who died too young. I finally had an opportunity to look through it the other day, amazingly Nov 26th, her birthday. I love cooking and each year I bake lots of cookies as Christmas gifts. I will include one of the cookies from the cookbook in this year's batch with a note about Kari.
Her light continues to shine!

In honor of sweet Kari, I payed the toll for the car behind me on my drive to Pittsburgh, love you Dennise and John, your often in my thoughts and prayers, love Janet

Happy birthday Kari we love and miss you

We received a beautiful basket in our office today filled with cookies and two cookbooks. We all have read through Kari's website and guestbook and it is clear she was loved very much, is missed very much, and touched many people's lives. We have taken a collection at the office and made our own "Kindness for Kari" cards. After reading all about Kari we have decided to pay it forward using something she loved. We are dropping off our cards and money to the Cranberry Max and Ermas for them to pass out the cards with a few orders of their half dozen chocolate chip cookies.

Happy Birthday Kari, you continue to touch lives.

Happy Birthday Kari - I love you and miss you very much, Dad

Hi Kari, we just did our first kindness for you. When driving through a toll in West Virginia we asked the worker to please use the money we gave her to pay for the toll of the next 3 people and to please give them the paper that shares this website. Wouldn't it be cool if one of the people actually came on and commented on your page?
We miss you more than words can say! We think of you and talk about you to the kids so often. They are always seeing the hearts that you are leaving for them! Even though you are not physically here with us, you have left too big of an impact on this word to ever truly be gone. Happy Birthday to you in heaven sweet girl! We love you

Twice I had Kari's Kindness coupons made at Office Max and twice Josh provided extra service at no charge - Thank you Josh!!

Let the "Kindness for Kari" begin

I still think about you. Something will happen and I find myself wondering what you'd say if you saw me now...I miss my penpal. Even though you were hundreds of miles away, you had a huge impact on my life.

Hi Kari,

I still think about you often. You were a beautiful person and I just wanted to say goodbye and thank you for the good times we shared. I miss you and I wish the best for your family and for you. I'll see you again someday.
