Uncle Jimmy & Family, Thinking of you all in these times of loss. Take care Kevin Balfe

I was deeply saddened to hear about Karen's passing. Her kindness and warmth were always evident during my visits to Miram Court. Her bright smile was a welcoming presence that made every encounter special. I am forever grateful that she brought Sonny and Jamie into my life. The wonderful memories and experiences we've shared are a testament to the love she instilled in them both. Through her unwavering support and nurturing spirit, Karen shaped Sonny and Jamie into the incredible mates which I cherish today. Please know that my thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time and my apologies that I couldn't be with you all. With heartfelt condolences,

What a beautiful service RiP Aunty Karen. Say hi to mum.xx

Unfortunately we never had the pleasure of meeting Karen personally but we have heard her name mentioned many times over the years. My Mam spoke of Karen and her kindness after a visit many years ago.My brother Michael also said she was a very kind person. I want to pass on our sincerest condolences to Jimmy and all his family . May her beautiful soul rest in peace in the arms of the Angels Mary and Leo ❤️

Thank you Karen for welcoming me and including me in your family. Condolences to Jimmy and family, especially Donna. I will take care of Donna as you wanted. ... Karen Swatton

When I first saw Karen in a photograph, I thought WOW, and wondered what secret powers our Jimmy had to attract her. When I met her in person and experienced them together I knew that they were made for each other. Karen was a lovely person, her family were her life and she will be missed forever. Love Uncle Paddy. Xx

I was only a young kid when I met Aunty Karen, I moved to Australia and it was very overwhelming. Visiting Uncle Jimmy and Aunty Karen made me feel at home while being so far away. Karen had such a warm and gentle presence. Karen would wink at me and snuck me some extra lemonades. I will always cherish that visit. Such a beautiful family. I'm heartbroken that I couldn't visit again as an adult. Sending love and prayers. I'll miss you. From Pierce xx
