She reached down deep,
where few may go,
and pulled out "Karen words"
to let us know...
her heart.
And we all cherished
every word she uttered.
She said what she meant
and seldom stuttered.

Ida Werrett

A little inside joke between Karen and I. She will understand.

I don't think there is a soul on here that hasn't been touched by Karen....

So true, Maureen. So true.

She was all heart, Ida. Touching words you've written for her.

I didn't know her, but from all the touching words I've read about her, she must have been something special.

Yes, dear Ida, you paint Karen well. It is a beautiful tribute.

Gosh, this is so tough to assimilate!

Well done, Ida. Hard to write about Karen. She touched so many of us.

This is an intimate poem for a very special friend, Ida.
"Karen words", that is beautifully penned. She would approve.

Ida, you will always do her proud. Karen would have chuckled, I know.

A most fine tribute write. Karen was certainly a very special lady-fine ...
as was Kacy. When Kathleen and I were together, those two used to
correspond a lot ... and both of them contributed so much toward making
"P.I.P.-land" by the cyber-sea the amazing place that it is. In my opinion,
both were rather fine 'roll models' in so many ways for other women and
all writers in general ... most certainly, they wrote many things in many
ways that I would never be capable of.

Ida, it is true. A fine post. Karen corresponded with so many and wrote so many wonderful "words". I don't know how she found the time to keep in touch with so many. I Have her e-mails in a special "Karen file" along with some of my favorite poems of hers.
Best to you, Jo
