In Remembrance and Celebrating the Life of Karine Hatesa Leota–Evans

Our precious beloved Karine received her wings to heaven on April 20, 2020. On Angels wings you were taken away; in our hearts you will always stay!" She was a beautiful, soft-spoken, well-mannered young lady who loved her family and friends, road trips with her Dad Shawn, shopping, watching and taking pictures of sunsets, her cat Miss Samoa and school.

Her favorite shoes were Vans and Slides. Her favorite clothes to wear were Hoodies, Headbands, Sweatpants and Athletic Leggings. Her favorite drinks were Smoothies and Lattes. Her favorite gifts were gift cards so she can go shopping!

You never said "I'm leaving"

You never said "Goodbye."

You were gone before we knew it,

And only God knows why.

A million times we needed you,

A million times we cried.

If love alone could have saved you,

You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a place,

That no one could ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you did not go alone.

For part of us went with you,

The day God took you home.

Author Unknown – should I put this in there to reference?

You continue to be an inspiration to us. While you may have been in pain, you taught us how to live life to the fullest joyfully. "Your memories will be a blessing to all of us."

'WE LOVE YOU FOREVER"
