Karena thank you for sharing this beautiful eulogy and tribute to your mom. What a blessing to have had the past 4 months so close to her. I see her in you - intelligent, beautiful and deeply committed to family. With love and condolences to you and your family.
Dearest Karena, I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. What a beautiful tribute to her memory. All of the lives she touched as she gathered and shared in faith, family, and community is a beautiful legacy, one that I hope continues to give you comfort.
I too believe that we carry parts of them with us, that there are so many parts of us that are not expressed just one generation later, I love that you see and describe parts of her carried on into her third generation. May you all continue to be blessed and comforted by her memory.
Karen’s, what an amazing tribute to your mother. If “The life you live is the lesson you teach” your mom achieved tenure a long time ago and had a huge student- body.
And you are carrying the torch she passes to you with a plumb - perfectly, completely, and in your own unique image.
Thank you for allowing us to know her through you. 🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful tribute to her. And a wonderful reminder to make the most of the time we have. Thank you for sharing. Sending hugs, and my condolences to you and your family.
What an extraordinary life, Karena. I’m grateful to you for sharing parts of her these past several months through your writing. And more importantly, I’m so glad you were together on this latest adventure. Sending much love to you and your family.
I think the quality of a mother’s children is her greatest legacy because they go on to determine the kind of world we live in. And my friend, Ilona, her daughter, is one of the people I love the most in the world. Through my friend’s grace, compassion and intelligence, I feel like Angela’s vicarious daughter. I am so pained by your loss.
My condolences, Karena. Your mother sounded like such a beautiful human being. What a wonderful gift indeed to have spent the last few months with her.
Karena, what a beautiful tribute to a woman who seems to have lived such a fulfilling, energetic and giving life. Your mom sounds like an amazing woman. Thinking of you and your family during this time ♥️
Karena: So sorry to hear about you and your family’s loss. It sounds like despite all obstacles she lived life on full tilt until the end ❤️ big hugs to you
