Hi Aunt Karen,  John and I are getting ready for our wedding.  We can not believe that it is in 3 and a half months!  Uncle Armand is going to marry us, but I am sure you knew that.  We know, that it will really be the two of you up there marrying us.  That is how strong the love is that the two of you share.  John and I aspire to follow in your model of love, friendship, and unity.  It is very ironic, John and I were saying that we had to call Uncle Armand to decide on our vows, then Mom (Leonora) told us to look on the memorial site because someone you once married placed their vows.  I wonder if those are the vows that you told me were your favorite?  When we find out what your favorite vows are, those are the ones we will use.  But then again, I am sure you will guide us to them anyway.  We love and miss you so much.  We talk about you everyday and there is never a moment that you are not on our minds.  You are our Angel just like you are everyone else's too.  Thank you for being the most special person we will ever know!

Dear KayMay,

You know sometimes when I think of the funny stuff that you or I said while we were together or that happened to us - I start to laugh but can't. It's not right that you are not here to laugh with me.  It's just not possible and yet it is actual. Can't wrap my head around it. I don't know how people do when something this sudden and terrible and wrong has happened. I miss you so much and will everyday for the rest of my life.

03-08-2008 7:34 AM -- By: Shannon and George A. Kay Jr.,  From: originally from Nashua, NH now in Exeter, NH  

Oh my God!!! I am so devasted and sad! She was an Angel in disguise. Karen married me and my husband George and I (Shannon Kay) September 19th, 1998. We met in May of 1998 - so Me and George didn't know each for very  long. I remember going to her house to visit her and planning our ceremony. We got married at Ordiorne State Park in Rye, NH. She was gracious too travel up there to marry us. It was the most beautiful ceremony we've had - ```and it was Karen that made it sooooooo special! I had written our Wedding Vows and when George and I met Karen to go over everything, I read them to her and I remember her shedding a few tears telling me how beautiful the vows were that I wrote, etc. I remember telling her that I know that even though me and George didn't know each other long - that hopefully we can make her proud and that this marriage will LAST and that on our 10th year anniversary -we'd be coming back to have her renew our vows.  Well, here we are almost 10 years later and are as happy (if not happier) and Karen would be so proud to know that we made it! It must be because she married us! So, what led me to this memorial site is that I looked her up on the web to call her to tell her to block a date out in Septemeber so I can have her renew our vows and realized she passed away - way before her time. I am soooo sorry for your loss - I remember seeing pictures at her house of her and her hubby and my heart goes out to him. She was such a special lady, so caring, and truly an Angel like I said. Now I don't want to renew our vows - as it will not be the same. I wanted HER to do it and NOONE else!!! My heart goes out to all of the family and although I didn't really know her - I am very upset and I don't know why this has touched me so. Rest in Peace Karen and know how much you were loved and will NOT EVER be forgotten. This is dedicated to you Karen (our wedding vows):

George Allen Kay Jr. and Shannon Skorb -  United September 19th, 1998 by Karen Circharo

Today is the day that we will unite and become one. We shall embrace each other with bond that we have created through our friendship, romance, trying times, and love. Through Jesus Christ we have found that one special true love. A love and a friendship that will last a lifetime - a marriage that will last an eternity.

Today we will make a promise, a solemn vow to love one another unconditionally without reservation. You are my salvation - you are the chosen one. You are the angel that has been sent down from up above, to take my hand in marriage and be my guide. My guide to an everlasting union that has been built upon trust, honesty, compassion, and commitment.

I shall promise to always be your confidant. I will do my best to bring joy and happiness into your life. I will provide for you everything you need, everything you deserve that I am capable of giving unto you. I promise to always be to you, a good provider and a good partner. I will always love, honor, and cherish you, until time surpasses. Until the God up above takes you under his gentle and loving wing.

Today I am marrying my best friend, my true love, my soul mate. The one that I have endlessly searched for, the one that has been brought to me through God's fate. My prayers have been answered. My dreams have finally come true. From this day forward, my love, my heart, my soul, I give unto you.

We now look to the Lord up above for his blessing upong this marriage that is about to be entered, with open hearts full of love and good intentions. We ask this through your son Jesus Christ and in loving memory of Mr. & Mrs. Roger Wallace, Eva Kay, Stanley Skorb Jr, Janet McBride, John Castellano, and Karen Circharo.

*******

Again, I am sorry for you loss. At least I will have my wedding pictures with her in them to remind us how special she was and how special our marriage is. Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts.

Karen,

I come here and look,  open mouthed at your beautiful face and am still so shocked that I am on your memorial site. It is still so unreal. I want so much for this all to be a dream, a horrible nightmare that I can awake from.  I love and miss you with all my heart and soul.

Whenever I dance, and it isn't often lately, but when I do, I do it with you in my heart and mind.

03-05-2008 1:44 AM -- By: Judy,  From:  

Dear Karen,

It still does not seem possible. I miss you so much hurts. I get a start in my heart, stomach and whole being when I realize it - over and over again. How can it be? I keep a message on my refrigerator that you emailed me, it just says that you love me, your beautiful,  wonderful, younger sister.  I miss your words, your voice, your face, your laugh...I miss you, my beautiful, wonderful, sister and I love you with all my heart and soul.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, our long talks, your kind and generous ways, all the memories, the music, dancing, discussing, sharing, and laughing. Last week you were with me clearly at a Sister to Sister event in Philadelphia and I know I'll feel you with me in NH next week again. I will never get over the fact that I can't call you or see you. Our friendship is something I will cherish forever. I love you, Robin

Eight months ago the music died.

02-25-2008 2:46 PM -- By: ,  From:  

Karen, I was putting songs on my i-pod yesterday and always trying to find the songs that bring me back to all the good times.  I was thinking about how much you wanted me to see the movie Living out Loud and how you raved about it and then you bought the soundtrack.  When I came up to visit one time  you played me the song "If you Love Me" and said "Don't you absolutely love this song, come on let's dance"  and we did over and over again.  I haven't heard that song since, until yesterday and when I heard the first note I started t cry just thinking about how much you loved that song and the passion you had when we would dance to it.  I miss you so and think of you everyday.  Cin

I keep thinking it will be a little easier..but so far it is still so hard, so lonely and sad, the void is so deep.

The memories are truly wonderful..I can hear the laughter, remember so many details, feel the joy... 

I wish it was enough. I miss you so very much!

02-04-2008 7:56 AM -- By: The McMahon Family,  From:  

Jeff,

Thank you for your very kind and thoughtful words.  Your family held a special place in Karen's heart and in the hearts of all of us.  Your entry brought back a flood of happy memories.

One very special memory was the time when your Mom went all the way down to Great Adventure to pick Karen and her friends  up when she lost her car keys on a ride and we were in Florida.  Karen and all of us are forever grateful.

Fondly,

Russ and Barbara McMahon and Barbara, Susan, Judith and Christine.

02-02-2008 12:33 PM -- By: ,  From:  

My sincere condolences to the Cicharo and McMahon families.  It was with much sadness to hear about the loss of Karen.  Karen was truly a great person and had touched the lives of everyone she met. 

Growing up with Karen was a blessing that has remained within my heat.  She was a wonderful friend and strong influence not only to me by my parents as well.  We spoke of Karen often and loved her dearly.   

Mr. and Mrs. McMahon, you did a great job raising your family.  This has been affirmed many times by reading all of the wonderful messages from Karen's family and friends.  Karen's legacy will remain in all that knew her.

Armand, Elizabeth and Michael - Keep the faith knowing that Karen is home with our Loving Lord and is at total peace.  May the comfort of God and his promises bless you always.

Sincerely,

Jeff Altadonna

Missing you more and more.  I keep hearing your laugh in my mind and picturing you and me together getting hysterical over something silly like we did so often.  I talk with the girls from time to time, but still no Barbara.  It was just 3 years since I saw you at my wedding.  You will always be such a significant part of the person I have become( the good parts )and that will never change.  As my mom would say, you were such a lady as was she.  Sometimes I drive along and my mind wanders and I think about you in disbelief as if I just found out.  I want to call you about a song I hear on the radio just to see if you like it too.  Love you.  Cin

We wouldn't know where to begin! That perfect picture of Karen and her great smile- What a loving and warm-hearted person. She was truley God's gift to those who knew her.Her memories will keep her alive in our hearts-and we have many. Thanks Karen for being you...

Hi, Tammy. Yes, it was just Armand's birthday. I'm so glad you made the chicken. And I agree with you that the cookbook is such a wonderful book. I have read it too and I'm looking forward to using it over the years and thinking of Karen when I do. xoxo, Felicia

01-29-2008 4:23 PM -- By: Tammy,  From: Wantagh  

Hi to Everyone who reads this. My name is Tammy and I have been here before to send some kind thoughts. I have to first tell you how much I love the cookbook. From the moment I received it though Felicia, I sat on my bed and read through it's entirety. It's just wonderful!! Great work to all of you. I also purchased one for a dear friend. I have used it a couple of times. The rice Pilaf was fantastic! Bravo. Now here's the weird story. Saturday night, I decided to make one of Karen's recipes, one that I was really looking forward to because I never had a good recipe for fried chicken. The entire time that I was frying, I thought of Armand,this being his "birthday dinner" whom I've never met and of course Karen and the fun smile that she had always had as a teen. It was very comforting as I remembered the words in the book of my kitchen smelling like hers. Now I finally got a chance to get back on the site and write about these pleasant thoughts and I'm not sure, but is it possible that I'm understanding that it was just Armands birthday?? I just read the 1/25 entry. Please let me know and if it was, then that was quite a sign!!! This truly was the best fried chicken and I also made creamed spinach and mashed potatos!!

Kay,I can rememeber this day in years past..we'd be discussing what presents you bought Armand as you started making the southern fried Chicken and his favorite devils food cake. I had to talk you out of telling him what you bought him ahead of time! You always made me feel part of every family celebration, if I was there or miles away on the phone. Thinking of you today, Armand, and missing Karen with you. With Love, Rob, Frank, Mariel and Brandon

Dear Armand, Today is your day and we are so happy that we can be together with you, Liz and Mike. You know we love you and wish you peace, healing and all good things for your future. Much love, Mom and Dad
