Kara meant so much to so many. She was a proud and amazing mother to our two daughters now 10 and 12. She was my guiding light and best friend. Her loss has left a massive void in my heart. She was a loving Auntie to her four nephews and a wonderful sister to her twin Krista. Her father has been through so much grief first losing his wife to breast cancer and now a daughter to brain cancer. Kara was diagnosed in January 2023 with a diffuse midline glioma. She underwent two operations, radiation, and chemotherapy. We enrolled in a clinical trial after progression was seen, but by then it was too late. Through it all she maintained a positive attitude and not once did she complain or have any thought of giving up. She fought incredibly hard to spend every minute she could with us until this terrible disease stole her away October 5th, 2024. We miss her dearly every day but we feel her presence through the cherished memories we hold in our hearts. We Love You Kara.
