It has almost been 15 years her friends and family have lived without her. I will never forget her and her family's sacrifice. What a terrible loss for humanity.

You went to Ft. Hood, I went to Germany. I remember hearing about your death-I clearly remember the day you died. You have not been forgotten at all, Karina. All this time gone past and I'll never forget serving with you.

A few days after her Chinook went down two soldiers and I went up in another Chinook to go to Qatar, the destination to which Lau was sent, but never arrived. I thought of her the entire time. She was cut down in the flower of her youth. I've never forgotten her. Wed, 10 Feb 2016 02:04:29 -0800 M.

If anyone has a suggestion for how I might contact someone in the family I would much appreciate it. It is hard to believe that it has been almost 10 years that Karina has been gone. Such a tragic loss. M.

I had just moved to Livingston for about a year when you passed. I did my time in the USMC. I never knew you, but your spirit lives in Livingston! I am crying as I write this, maybe because you give a face to something know one really understands?? Every time we go to the park on Main St. I take my kids and tell them about you! May you RIP and thank you for all you gave! Your spirit lives in our small town! Mon, 27 May 2013 05:44:11 -0700
