Condolence: Dear family,I am sorry about the loss of your love one. The Bible promise that one day the dead will be restored to life by means of. a resurrection (John5:28,29). I hope this promise bring the family a measure of hope.

Condolence: Karin, may God Bless You and may You Rest in Eternal Peace! YOU WERE THE MOST INSPIRING & BRAVEST PERSON WE HAVE KNOWN! Craig, Laura, Paul, Michael, Kristen and Family, we are so sorry for your loss! Mario & Eileen...

Condolence: To the Dubreuil/Diamond families: I want to extend my most sincere condolences to all who have loved and cherished Karin. I'm sure that the loss you feel is immense, and I hope and pray that you can find peace and comfort in the wonderful memories that you all share. God bless Karin, and her family and friends.

Condolence: Craig, as a fellow Summer Place staff member, I had no idea you were experiencing such a trying time at any point during the summer or these past few years. I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your incredible wife Karin. As I was reading her blog today, I was moved to tears by her outlook on life in the face of disease and by her love for you and your dog, Sammy. As someone who has recently suffered a loss, I have found comfort in these words and pray they ease your suffering in some small way: "You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on." Sending prayers to you, your family, your Sammydog, and all of those who were fortunate enough to linger in Karin's beautiful light.

Condolence: Our family is remembering yours in prayer at this time. Karin's life was such an inspiration to each of us. Karin's spirit and courage to share her story has blessed so many. She is at peace and we pray for grace, peace and strength for each of you.

Condolence: I've been crying all morning for someone I never met, never talked to - someone who doesn't know me, but someone I feel I know intimately just from the words she has written. I followed Karin's blog from the start - when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's within a month of Karin's diagnosis. I feel like we have gone through this together. I feel like I know the whole family, Craig, and Sammy as if they were my family. So, I say to my Internet family, "I love you all" and to Karin - "You will always be in my heart and like Craig said, "good-bye for now". I hope to meet you for real in the next life.

Condolence: I started following Karin's blog when my sister was diagnosed with cancer. Karin's infectious personality brightened our lives and we were rooting for her to beat this horrible disease. Our hearts go out to her sister who donated her stem cells, her parents, all of her family, friends, Craig and Sammy-dog. Through her amazing writing and ability to share her feelings, Karin left a beautiful gift behind.

Condolence: Laura, Paul, Michael and Kristen, We are so saddened to hear of Karin's passing. I did follow her blog which illustrated just what a special, strong young woman she was. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you including Craig and Sammy-Dog. With Love and Friendship, Linda, Steve, Ryan and Lindsay

Condolence: Dear Craig It has been a very tough year for you. I hope you know that life has not ended for you just changed. I know we never lose the people we love. They live the rest of our lives with us in our heart.” Wishing you and your family strength and peace

Condolence: My heart is grieving for this beautiful young woman that I knew only through her very special writings. I always felt as if they were directed only to me and I loved her as if she were my child. Please know Craig and all of Karin's family, how much I will miss hearing from her. May God bless you each and every one and comfort you at this sad time. With loving thoughts and prayers, Pat Willoughby

Condolence: Craig--I am so sorry and so sad. A few years back I came across Karin's blog while googling myself and I have been reading her blog ever since. I am sitting here crying over someone I never met. She touched so many people with her amazing writing. I have been checking in on any updates and went a few days only to see that she had passed away. From what she wrote about you, you are an amazing man. I hope you an Sammy-dog are o.k. and if you ever want to reach out to another Karin Diamond who also loves her dog so much, please feel free to drop me a line. "the Other" Karin Diamond

Condolence: Paul, Laura and the Dubreuil family, such a great loss. Karin put up a great fight but we all know she is in a better place now, free of pain and worries. Yes she will be missed by family and friends. Cherish the memories, no one can take those away. Our family, from recent experiences feel your pain but we assure you that the memories will win over that pain. Stay strong, tomorrow will be a better day.

Condolence: So sorry to read about the loss of Karin. Your remembrance of her paints the picture of a truly remarkable person. May you take comfort in the words of Jesus at John 5:28,29 where we are told of the hope of seeing our loved ones again.

Condolence: The moment I clicked I remembered that beautiful smile. She was always smiling. She is a true I spiration to all of us. May god wrap her in his love and comfort. My prayers and blessings to your entire family. Miss Yvonne

Condolence: Dear Craig and family, I have been watching a monarch caterpillar for two weeks now grow and become a chrysalis. Amazingly, Sunday a beautiful butterfly emerged and opened its wings to the world. I know now that it is Karin entering her new life - still giving joy to others as only Karin can and at peace with the world.

Condolence: May I pass on our condolences and prayers to Craig, the Dubreuil & Diamond families from Karin's Southwest School family. She was and still is our "Shining Star". Becky Mogob, Secretary, Southwest School

Condolence: Dear Craig and Dubreiul family, Sincere condolences for your loss. Karin's blog has been an inspiration for me.

Condolence: Craig, Sammy, and family- I cannot thank you enough for sharing Karin with the rest of us. At a time when dealing with so much anxiety, pain, confusion, and suffering there she was.....the bright light to lift everyones spirits allowing us into her personal world. We've prayed, cried, pleaded for a miracle. She always took it a step beyond and did everything in her power to see whatever clinical trial, transfusion, etc could help somebody else kick cancers a$$. Most importantly she did it with grace, dignity, sarcasm, and with the Love of her family right by her side. Although I am a complete stranger I would log into her site every night like a kid at Christmas hoping that whatever trial she succumbed her body to that it was going to be the final cure the Doctors needed to stop this disease in its tracks. She is and always will be remembered for her strong determination, bubbly spirit, and perserverance even when she herself didnt realize what she was getting herself into as long as it made a difference in someone elses life. My heart bleeds for all of you and for her. She didnt deserve this- you all dont deserve this. Noone deserves this. I will continue to pray that God comforts you during this most difficult time and just know you all are an amazing family and she is an amazing girl. To Karin- you have no idea what you have done for so many people that have never met you! You dove into unchartered territories head first without blinking an eye. You have lifted millions of people up with your rants and raves and crazy stories. You are loved, respected, admired, and adored but most importantly you are missed. Shine on Crazy Diamond and take these broken wings and learn to fly again- learn to live so free. xoxo

Condolence: Karin - you have taken a piece of my heart with you to heaven. I will feel you in the warmth of the sun, the chirp of a bird, the peaceful sounds of a wind chime. Wherever there is beauty, you will be there.

Condolence: I began reading Karin's blog about four months after I was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2012. Her website was and is still bookmarked on my laptop, and every day I would check for new posts, even when I was in the hospital. That's how inspiring and encouraging Karin's words and her life were-- I, a complete stranger, was drawn by the powerful impact she was able to make with her writing. Even though our experiences with cancer have been different, there were familiar emotions and thoughts she shared that made me feel less alone. I am deeply saddened that she no longer alive to write more, but what she has written will continue to touch others in ways she never would have even imagined. Thank you, Karin, for the honor and privilege of following your story, and for making this whole cancer journey feel less isolating. Rest in peace. Thank you to the Diamond family for updating her website and letting us into your lives during this heartbreaking time. My deepest condolences to you all. May you feel her love in every ray of sunshine and every happy memory. Best to you all.

Condolence: My thoughts are with Karin, Craig and her family and friends. While I did not know Karin well, I did follow her blog, and feel like I know her since she exuberated warmth and love through her writing. Craig, you and Karin are the epitome of true love and commitment. The rest of us can only hope to have what you and Karin found in each other, a never-ending love. Karin will be truly missed by everyone who knew her, even those of us who only had the opportunity to know her briefly.

Condolence: Karin, You are truly a beautiful person and have inspired countless people around this world. your ridiculously addictive smile and giving heart will surely be remembered for everyone you so wonderfully touched. Rest in peace, our friend.

Condolence: We are deeply sorry to hear of Karin's departure from our earth. Her beauty, strength and courage has inspired so many of us. Her new wings will carry her to many new adventures. God bless the Dubreuil family and Craig. You are all such amazing people !
