My dearest Karen. You are and will forever be in my heart. You were an amazing lady and friend. You always had a smile on your face and a twinkle in your beautiful, blue eyes. You were one of a kind and I'm thankful to have had the privilege to call you my friend. I am so grateful for the love and support that you gave me during my difficult journey and I only wish that I could have been that support for you too. Until we meet again, soar high among the Heavens sweet Angel, your eternal life has just begun.
My deepest sympathies to Sean, Grace, Olivia, Isabel and the rest of the family. May you find comfort in knowing that she was loved by many and we share in your loss.❤

I (Neila) was six years old when Karen Lee was born and remember the first time I saw her. She was a beautiful baby with gorgeous, big eyes. I secretly hoped that Linda and Stevie would give her to me because she looked like a perfect doll to me. We grew up on the same street and we spent a lot of time with our cousins. Although the miles were many between us in later years, we kept up with her growing family through pictures and updates from her parents. It was easy to see how happy her family was and how proud she was of them. Our hearts are broken for you, her family, and we pray for your comfort and healing in the days to come.

Arlene(First Cousin) and Ron McTavish and our Family
It is with great disbelief and deep sorrow that we extend our sympathies on Karen Lee’s passing. Having grown up on the same street and having worked together in our teens at my father’s store, every memory I have of Karen Lee involves her laughter. She had such amazing energy and was always ready to laugh at just about everything. What a wonderful quality to possess.
Sean, Isaac, Grace, Olivia, Isabel, Stevie, Linda, and Darlene(and your family) our hearts are broken for all of you. We want each of you to know that we are and will continue to pray for you in the coming days, weeks, and years as you deal with your tremendous loss. Sending our love to all of you.

Karen had a beautiful soul, and she had the ability to brighten a room when she entered. She radiated joy and kindness to all of those around her. She will be deeply missed by her co-workers and the children she worked with. Her dedication and passion to the special needs students she cared for was magical to witness. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to have worked with Karen.
To know Karen was to know her family was her greatest joy. She spoke often and with great pride of each and everyone of her children and her husband Sean.
Words cannot encapsulate the grief that is being felt at the loss of this beautiful soul. Please accept my deepest sympathies and I hope you can find comfort in knowing how loved Karen was. Although we can not be with you to share in her celebration of life, there are many with you in spirit. ??

Dear Sean,
it was with sorrow that Kasia and I learned of Karen's passing. We share with you the pain of your loss. Karen was a wonderful woman, an excellent mother and your soul mate, and although her passing is loss to the world, heaven has gained a beautiful angel. Although some 3000 nautical miles separate us at your time of need, know that we are with you shipmate, and whatever we can do to support you.
