KARYN
Karyn, wife, mother, step mother, sister, daughter, grand mother, sister in law, cousin, nurse,
church volunteer, all nouns of what Karyn was.
Tough as nails, could stand up to the best of them. Yet be soft as a cotton ball
with those she loved.
She loved to laugh, her greatest joy was playing with the grandchildren. Her greatest love
was her family, but most of all her husband. The closeness, the unconditional love, which
makes her all the more missed by him.
I always was amazed by Karyn's ability to do anything. She could remodel a bathroom,
plumbing and all. She saw it, she did it. She visualized it and she made it happen.
While Karyn fought the good fight against cancer, we had several conversations.
Sad ones, thoughtful ones, talked about the pro's and con's of treatments. The times
she wanted to give up. The times she said enough is enough. And stopped and yet
went back to fight again. I told her, she was in control. That she was to make the
decisions. That cancer did not own her, so it was up to her to decide what she wanted
to do and how. What ever she decided... we were behind her 100 %.
She went back to fight again. And fight she did. But for some reason, God decided
he needed Karyn more than her family did. Reasons we will never understand. As
57 is way too young to leave us all...
Just as we never understand whys of cancer or any other terminal disease.
She will so be missed by her mother, sisters, son's, daughter in laws, grandchildren.
Us, cousins, her sister in laws, and brother in laws, Those lucky enough to call her
friend. And of course, most of all by her husband.
So as the ones who we call Mom and Dad, stoop to reach down to hold
her hand as she rises to heaven, we all say good bye, on this day of Memorial
for Karyn L.
