Reader tributes

I'm a tennis mom. My daughter, husband and I have been blessed with Kari's presence in our lives. Last evening we opened our home to a few of Kari's friends who assembled red ribbons and posters in support of their fallen friend. They shared tears, stories and photos. She was a sweet beautiful young lady. We all loved her gentle softspoken personality. I think it's important for kids in this community to know her story and how much she and her family sacrificed to live the "American Dream".
Her memory will be with us always.
