To my beloved Karen, my best friend, my sister…I love you Karen so much and there isn’t a day that goes by without you in my thoughts. So many things remind me of you…I lay awake at night thinking about you. You have brought so much joy in my life and I can never repay you for all that you have done for me. No one could have a better friend then you in their life. You are so much more then a friend to me, you are truly my family. I miss you sooo much and I wish that I could bring you back to me and to all who love you. Love you so much, Jean Hakanson and family##imported-begin##Jean Hakanson##imported-end##

At every birthday party, Aunt Karen made me feel less like a little kid and more grown up. She did this by always drinking a Capri sun with me. It made me feel like I wasnÃ¢â?¬â?¢t the only person that was still a kid at heart and had to have a Capri sun because they were awesome and delicious. I could relate to her in that way. She was cool, caring and loving in her own way and made everyone around her feel loved and cared for. Even though the words Ã¢â?¬Å?I love youÃ¢â?¬Â didnÃ¢â?¬â?¢t escape our lips every few seconds, we all love her and know in our hearts that she loved us too.##imported-begin##Mary Havlicek##imported-end##
