Karen Blanco Obituary

Karen was my next door neighbor when I lived in Arlington Heights. She was a nice person and we got along well. I will miss her.

It's already October and it's getting cold out there. I'll be bringing out that beautiful scarf Jay gave me that was yours. I want you to know i still miss you very much but i have come to the conclusion you were a season in my life that taught me so many things. God had blessed me with your presents and love. I am so greatful for our time together. The most wonderful thing is that you are now walking the streets of gold with so many who you missed and love. One day we'll all be together. God Bless you Chickie!!

1 Thess. 4:13-14 / Heb. 6:9, 10:23

This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you, but ...

We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
(There's a place by God's grace)
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We'll see your face again

And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home
And now you're free, and ...

We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true, so ...

We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope

Karen,
A friend like you is hard to find and even harder to loose. I want you to know that i feel so blessed to have had been blessed to have an angel like you. I miss you so much but, i am also glad for you are now at peace. love ya chickie!!

Today, I am remembering Karen again as she is in my thoughts. I see her in many things on a daily basis. I also would like to give my condolences to Jay as I can see he misses her very much. She is looking down on him and still looking out for him as she is her brothers. We miss her.

Karen was a very giving and loving and fun person. She was always there for everyone no matter what the circumstance. Always celebrating life with everyone. She will surely be missed. Steve and I would like to give our condolences to Carlos and Dave and we, like you, will always remember a wonderful person.

This world is a better place for having had Karen in it. Thank you for all the years of stories, laughter and kindness. My prayers go out to all your family....

Chicken of the Sea, Int'l

My dear friend you will be missed, we are all so blessed to have known you and be part of your life. rest in peace

Even the kindest of words cannot fully encompass the type of person Karen was. She was so special, and had the ability to bring out the best in people. She really was and is, a gift from God.

To my dear friend Karen, I will miss you, I will miss our lunch dates and our x-mas's together with our other dear friends, Gerry & Bonnie and most of all I will miss you. I worked with you for a number of years and every new year was better than the last we became such good good friends. I loved you like a daughter. Rest in Peace my dear freind Karen God is with you. Your Loving Friend Patricia Marth

The loss of our dear Karen is so difficult to bear My family and i share in your grief. Here is a bit about who our lovely Karen was:
Karen you were friendly, kind and caring
Sensitive, loyal and understanding
Humorous, fun, secure and true
Always there... yes that was you,Karen
Special, accepting, exciting and wise Truthful and helpful, with honest eyes
Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright
Yes that was you... not one bit of spite.You're one of a kind, different from others
Generous, charming, but not one that smothers Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and game
But not just another... in the long chain.Appreciative, warm and precious like gold
Our friendship won't tarnish or ever grow old. I will forever cherish our memories my dearest Best Friend and sister.You have taught me so much in the time we were together. You may be there with lord now but one day soon we'll be together again .
