I've been knowing Karen since I was 10 years old, I met her when she used to work with my mother at Lafayette Projects and she was crazy about me and she wanted me to be her little sister, I used to spend weekends with her bake cookies together, ate crabs together our bond was so strong that I always looked up to her. When I turned 15 she asked me to baby sit her son Trell that was my first babysitting experience. We had kept in touch over the years but we haven't spend any time together. I am now 52 and I feel really bad because I never got a chance to tell her I love her and goodbye and she never got a chance to know my daughter Ailayah, she would love her as well. I will truly miss you Karen my sister.

May the sweet memories of this pleasant funny sweet young lady comfort all who loved her. I supervised Karen during our years with Housing Police. We enjoyed our time working together and had a lot of laughs. I pray for the repose of her soul and for peace and strength for Karen's family and friends.

The sound of her happy laughter would be enough to fill the entire world. My dearest friend Karen will be greatly missed by me. As the days and weeks pass, and as we return to life's routine, may we continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us forever.

I love you and my heart is broken.
