I missed this post when it was new. What a wonderful tribute you have posted here, showing your love for a kindred spirit and showing that friendships come in all sizes and shapes. I have never read Kary's blog, and I feel poorer for it now.

As I said in a short post, i loved her sense of style, and sometimes she made me laugh. She loved her fur babies, this was a connection too. She shared good recipes.....sigh.<br /><br />I am still very sad for the loss of her. There is an empty space where she was....she waits for us. I plan to celebrate her August 25th.....<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by my blog. We RV travel now and I do not blog so much or visit. but sometimes i do. I will visit here again one day and look around. ;-)<br /><br />Very nice remembrance of Kary.the wild magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355836751549469688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188197380219416809.post-62605262927686854582012-08-13T12:02:41.974-04:002012-08-13T12:02:41.974-04:00Hello, lovely Mary.

I could not contain my tears when I read your words, "Hi Kary." What a precious moment that was indeed.<br /><br />I am delighted that you found your way to the "shop." Living in Florida for over 40 years, I am head-over-heels in love with the ocean, so I could not resist clicking on your alluring blog title. I'm now following and I've added you to my sidebar blogroll to stay in touch regularly. I think your little corner is so full of light, and I absolutely love light. ;)<br /><br />XOXO's,<br />Marcia<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188197380219416809.post-23932564764078292052012-08-13T09:25:51.340-04:002012-08-13T09:25:51.340-04:00What a beautiful tribute post to your friend, Kary...What a beautiful tribute post to your friend, Kary.

When a so-called celebrity dies, the media overflows with the tragedy, but when one of us "common folk" leave this world, barely a ripple, which sometimes feels so wrong, you know? Thanks to you and your loving tribute, more people are aware of what an amazing person your friend was, and share your tears at her loss. Today would have been my friend's birthday. She and I were college roommates... she was my maid of honor... I'm her oldest child's godmother. She died from cancer two years ago this October, and I still miss her, so I understand your pain.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188197380219416809.post-15493576080449621902012-08-12T09:13:52.511-04:002012-08-12T09:13:52.511-04:00Thank you for writing this lovely tribute to Kary....Thank you for writing this lovely tribute to Kary.

I recently lost my best friend Lorna who lost her battle with cancer on July 14th. There are so many moments in the day when I think of her, like you think of Kary. When I saw your cookbooks it made me think of my friend who gave me The New Basics when it first came out and put little star sticker by all the things she had tried and loved. I'm so sorry for your sadness. I hope her family reads your post...I'm sure it will comfort them. It's really beautiful.<br />annieannie@mostlovelythingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964878814684727910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188197380219416809.post-84629563929229430862012-08-08T18:32:54.088-04:002012-08-08T18:32:54.088-04:00Beautiful post.

I figured she had new interests. I only knew her through her sweet blog but I could tell she had a kind heart and that she loved new England so much, her beloved pets and baking. I remember when you and Susan and Kary were all baking from Sara Beth's Cookbook!<br /><br />None of us know when our appointed day will come. So sad to know that Kary's came too quickly. She will be dearly missed!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188197380219416809.post-85320997942372013432012-08-07T15:30:00.365-04:002012-08-07T15:30:00.365-04:00Hi again, I just still can't get over this new...Hi again, I just still can't get over this news; again I'm thankful that she is no longer suffering but it is such a loss-especially for those friends who were so close to her. Do you know if there is a remembrance book online(usually done by a funeral home)so that we can leave her hubby our condolences? Somehow I have lost her address and would love to also send a card. I couldn't find any listing in S.L.O, CA.

It is just so sad! You've got me struggling with tears right now, so my words are very eloquent. I loved your photos from her blog. I'm thankful that she is no longer suffering but it is such a loss for her family and friends. Sending you hugs today!

Kary and Teddy (as she would always sign her comments) always left such lovely sweet words. We corresponded once talking about her love of New England. I checked in on her blog probably six months or so ago, and was surprised to see no new postings, but didn't know why. I can see why you two were fast friends- I loved reading all the similarities, that is so, so sweet. Seeing the squirrel was such a sweet part too. I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a friend is so difficult. I can't imagaine how sad and lost dear Teddy is. She adored him so. <br />My sincere condolenses to her husband and extended family.
