Special thanks to her cousin Greg Loosli and Aunt and Uncle Linda and Gary McKinnon for their caring and blessings and special kindness for KaLen during the last years of her life.

We will miss her sparkling eyes and infectious smile and the love she generously gave to everyone. She has left a hole in our hearts that won't be filled until we are with her again.  We will miss you Mama Bear.

A celebration of life is pending and will be held in the near future and please contact Family members for the date and time.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting a donation be made to the Charity of their choice in memory of KaLen.
