10 years ago tomorrow, a good friend of mine was taken prematurely from this world by a Drunk Driver. Her sister is hosting a candlelight vigil Thursday evening, March 6th in Caz Park. I strongly encourage anyone who knew Karen, or anyone else who may have been killed by a drunk driver to join us in this remembrance. Here are the details:
Every morning I wake up and go to the kitchen where I promptly put on my grim reaper costume and start to kill things. Lots of things. My tool of choice? METHOD’s Grapefruit All Purpose Kitchen Spray. Not only does it smell good, it truly IS All Purpose, cause I never thought of using it…

On June 15th, I applied on-line to M&T Bank for a Training Specialst position thanks to our good friend Mike Miller (Love You Mike!!). After 3 separate interviews (one downtown at M&T plaza, one at Amherst Center and one phone interview to Delaware) one massive presentation and tons of waiting anxiously for the word, it…
Day 5 Saturday we were all at the Grandparent’s Punaro for birthday celebrations, so we did not get home much before 9pm. I had brought her nightie to their house so we changed her there, knowing she would fall fast asleep in the car. It made it a bit easier getting her ready for bed…

Derek- I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend.
I met Karen’s sister Deanna at the Buffalo.Com Blogger Panel and she had asked me to post this on my blog too.
Karen was Amanda’s friend. (Believe it or not, I don’t write every post on this site.)
Jennifer,
Karen was dating my cousin Henry when she was killed. It was a horrible experience that really made me think about life and how precious it is. I can not believe that it has been ten years since that night. So much has changed and my life has evolved so much since then, but the memory of Karen will always be with me. She was a great friend, always smiling and laughing, and she reminds me to this day to live my own life to its absolute fullest.
