Rest in Peace Karen

Pin It

Karen-georgeDamn it. I am so freaking sick and tired of cancer stealing lives.

I just found out that Karen George passed away over the weekend. I wrote about her almost a year ago as she entered YET ANOTHER battle against breast cancer.

Karen was a local lender, and a wonderful person. She had an amazing spirit and attitude in the face of a horrific and insidious disease.

You fought the gallant fight Karen. The world was a better place with you in it, and your kind and caring legacy lives on. Our thoughts are with Michael and all that Karen touched in her far too short life.

Others on the loss of Karen:

Paula Henry – Who has started a fund raiser. See the widget below and please share if you can.

You know I always thank GOD everyday I wake up healthy and sometimes we may forget to thank a higher power for allowing us to wake up without major health issues.

My prayers go out to Karen's family.

Im so sorry!

Many women suffer from this disease in my family.

Hi Jay,

I am so sorry for your loss.

A very good friend of ours has been afflicted with this horrible disease. It is hard to comprehend how families cope with it when it is so difficult to deal with when a friend is stricken.

This is terrible =/

On the radio the other day, Rascal Flatt's "Skin" came on and though I'm usually not a fan of the group (not quite sure why), this song brought a tear to my eye.

Having had relatives pass recently, mortality is really not something we think about too often. It's sobering to say the least.

Here's the YouTube clip (with lyrics) for those interested. Having a daughter myself, they're really quite beautiful...

I'm so sad for the loss of Karen George. I know a lot of people are suffering from cancer and that thing makes me feel so sad. My prayers are for Karen and for those people who are still fighting for Cancer.

I guess God likes them good people and that's why he wants them to be with him in the heavens. This is a very sad news indeed. I would love to chip in but I am travelling right now and I am not in the states, I'll be back September 5th though. I am in a cyber cafe right now and I don't think that it'll be a good idea to use my credit card/paypal from over here.

May she rest in peace!

Jay - This is a terrible tragedy for the George family. It was a sad day today to learn of such a loss of Karen George. Her life was taken so young. This is the second young woman that I've known this year that has lost their life to the ugly 'C' word! I personally have lost my mother & brother from 'C' and it holds no boundaries. My heart goes to Micheal and his family as they embrace the wonderful memories that Karen has given us all and her legacy that will stay with us and remind us of her 'pay it forward' attitude. What a wonderful tribute to Karen you have done today. God Bless Karen and her family at this very difficult time. Gently on my mind, Candace - Gilbert, Arizona

Jay,

My wife is approaching 5 years cancer free after being diagnosed with breast cancer. It is an insidious disease that knows no boundaries. My prayer and thoughts will be with her family tonight.

I am so sorry- what a beautiful soul to take from this world. My prayers and thoughts are with her and all victims of cancer- I know Karen will live as an inspiration to many.

I really feel sad about what happened. My Auntie died in Cancer a week ago and that is really makes me feel so sad. My prayers are with her too and to all who have cancer.

I am so sorry- what a beautiful soul to take from this world. My prayers and thoughts are with her and all victims of cancer- I know Karen will live as an inspiration to many.
