i came to this page to see what some of you, her on line friends thought
of my best friend. steven, her significant other is finding this page
difficult to handle. as you imagine he is lost and hasnt found his way.
 
see i was one of the luckiest ones. i knew k. i have been her best friend
for almost 8 years. the unique thing about this relationship was that i
was almost old enough to be her mother. but it wasn't that kind of a
relationship. she never made me feel that way. I also have a daughter who
is 16. i think they were best friends also. in other words karin had a
heart and had a knack for knowing just what another person needed and
wanted from her. she gave freely. i watched a young girl become a
beautiful woman.
 
k was a good daughter, sister, lover and of course friend.
 
when we first signed on to the internet many years ago now, we use to
stay up all night talking to the world, then laugh all day about it
together. those were the days aol billed by the hour. we paid dearly. she
was a computer novice then but she wanted to learn everything. she did.
 
i wanted to tell the world that i loved this woman with all my heart.
there is a void you cant imagine.
 
i wear her necklace around my neck, my daughter wears the other. steven
wears her ring. these are just little pieces of her. the only thing i
wanted, was her back.
 
in early october k and i celebrated our birthdays together, it was her
29th my 44th. we both knew then it would be the last. it took all her
strength to go out that day. but she fought to the very end.
 
thursday evening was the last time we had together. i was on my way to
the hospital friday when i got the call.
 
a piece of me is gone.
she will never be forgotten
