Karen Korell, artist, activist, blogger, dear friend to many, died on Monday, August 30, 2010, at her home in Towanda, PA.

Karen, I admired you for your fortitude and grace but I loved you for being the sweet, kind person you were. You will be missed by many and your work touched many who were not able to meet you personally. Your influence will live on.

In memory to a friend of the heart...from e.e. cummings
ReplyDelete(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
karen's heart and her soul have become, for me, a measure of kindness worth the carry....
Thank you, epoost, for your comment honoring our dear friend Karen. She was a wonderful person, and we miss her so very much. I love your quote from e. e. cummings.
