In Loving Memory

I Will Remember
              by Dakotarose

Here I stand on solid ground
Reaching up to you
Begging for the strength and will
That I pray will see me through
I feel you there inside my heart
Asking me, "please, not to cry,
Just live for all we shared together,
There's no such thing as good- bye."

The courage you showed throughout it all
As the battle raged on inside
You never stepped down or lost your ground
You fought with dignity and pride
And it's pride I have for all you are
For everything you gave
You never questioned the way things were
You just kept on true and brave

You opened my eyes to a brighter world
Side by side, we rose above
You graced me with your friendship
And you honored me with your love
I can't promise to always be strong
And never shed a tear in your name
But I will never regret and I will never forget
And I will never quit the game
So I lay a rose beside your name
And I wipe away a tear
And I hear you whisper inside my heart
Saying, "Remember me here. "

These are letters I have  received from Karren's family:
***************************************************
I want to thank you for doing such  a wonderful job for such a dear cousin of mine. She gave me so much, as I am sure she did for you. She had a chance to grace people's hearts. I hope you too had the opportunity to see her for who she truly was. I love her dearly, as I am sure you did as well. Thank you again, for doing such a wonderful tribute to the one I loved.

Thank you for designing a tender tribute to my sister, Karren. I didn't know  you all, but we all shared something unique and precious -- Karren in our  lives. I know I was truly blessed by her presence----and still feel it now.
Passion is my word for my Sissy. Passion for life, passion for people,  passion for the causes she believed in. If you had her in your corner, there  were no obstacles she wouldn't conquer for you. Steamroller like in her
drive, unfailing in her loyalty, childlike sometimes in her joy ---- passionate about life.
How lucky we all were to have had her in our lives.
God Bless,
Jocelyn D. Smith
