Kara Spaulding

Neil, Family, and loved ones, I want you to know that Karen, or Mrs. Yukimura as I called her, carries on in my heart and mind as well as the hearts and minds of my family. I was too shy up until now to reach out, but I thought it extra prudent to reach out now. Karen's mischievous nature, intelligence, talent, care, and appreciation for honesty are among the qualities I remember about her. I remember the first time I spoke to her. She said, "You know, us parents can be really annoying." I responded, "I know." I thought I was dead in the water for being so honest; although I only notice these things after the fact, until, much to my relief, I heard her laughter on the other side of the phone. She also came up to me after the prom when we were looking at pictures, and told me, "this is how I know you care about my son," as she pointed out a picture of me with Neil and the telling expression on my face. I relish the memories of such intelligence and deep authenticity. I know she lives on in the hearts of all who loved her, and, especially, in her sons; I have witnessed the beauty of her in each one of you in the little time I got to know you. I hope this message brings you some joy and hope, and I hope you and your loved ones are safe and happy.
