I just so much felt the need to once again write in Kari's guestbook. My family was at Penns Colony of course buying the dips!! I saw Kari's cookbook and felt so comforted that I have made so many of the cookbook dishes for my family. Thank you Kari! Continue to look after your family because God knows you are indeed thier angel!!!

I can't explain why I was drawn to this site, I can only tell you that I bought a Kari's cookbook from someone at my workplace a long time ago. I picked it up the other day and each time I pick it up I wonder what happened to her. I finally googled her and read about the accident. I feel so sorry for you all and I have spent the last couple hours looking at this tribute. Pictures and memories-what a great job!! I do not know what to say. I am really impressed. My Dad recently passed away and even though he is gone from "here", I have faith that I will again see him along with others that I greatly miss. I believe that for you too!!!

You're still awesome.

You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

As we say...KARI ON

kari,

i can't believe it's been four years since you left. i still think about you each and every day. i was always in awe of your beauty and the kindness you had in your heart. you were always so happy - full of life and laughter. though it hurts your friends and family to be without you, we must take comfort and remember you're watching over us from your home in heaven.

lots of love on this anniversary and always,
