Karen, I have often heard about your goodness from my sister Frida, your daughter-in-law. We have only met a few times, but I could feel your kindness and warmth when you welcomed me into your home. Your goodness will always be remembered and cherished in our hearts. As you join the angels in Heaven, may your spirit soar and find peace in the embrace of eternity. Your light will continue to shine through the love you've shared and the memories you've created. May you rest in paradise and know that you will be dearly missed. Rouli Nababan

Karen was such a kind and welcoming person. Even though I only met her a few times, she made me feel right at home. I’ll always remember her warmth. My heartfelt condolences to Brian, Frida and Josephine. Rest in peace, Karen.

I remember Karen (& Brian) best when we all lived in Grimsby … Brian was still a child then, in the early 1980’s.. we would get together & all of us would walk down to this convenience store, where they would sell these foot-long Hotdogs.. which we would thoroughly Enjoy while sitting out on the picnic table there… before walking the long way back (which would eat up those extra calories)!! Or at her home around the swimming pool .. she was always conscious of taking good care of Brian & herself!! She worked hard, as a RNA/RPN .. both in the hospital setting as well as in the Doctors Clinic to provide well for Brian.. very efficient & professional.. But she was also a Good Friend to me .. I Loved her dearly..she was the Sister I never had & though we drifted apart (by my move to Toronto) .. she was in my thoughts .. especially around Sept 2, her Birthday.. I always meant to get back in touch but Life got in the way.. I regret that.. & will Miss Her.. You’re now with God, Karen & you’re Well & Happy with the Lord!! Bless you & Thank You for being in my Life!!

Karen worked with me as my office nurse in my Family Practice for many years. She was an excellent nurse, always professional in her work, very organized and compassionate. She kept the practice running smoothly and made my work life so much easier.She was respected by our patients who felt comfortable confiding in her. Karen’s life revolved around her son, Brian, who she loved deeply. I lost contact with Karen after she moved to Toronto to be closer to Brian and his family, but often thought of her and our work life together. R.I.P. Karen Gary Benson

Brian, Frida, Josephine and Family My deepest condolences to all. Karen was a very special lady and will be missed. We had a lot of good times and made special memories over the years. RIP Karen. Gone but never forgotten. Sharron Belanger

Our Hearts Deep Meaning ~~~~ Memories I forever keep tight in my heart like a warm summer day. Where the light hits my face. The warmth you left on my face, a smile I still hold. A knot of thoughts place through my mind, when I see you. As the years had passed so had you. A memory so strong and true. A woman so strong and powerfull too, the love you had for me could never compare. now I know that love doesn't come from actions, it comes from heart. And from the lesson I see that you loved me beyond neptune and back. Your love was what glued me all together. And now what a true grandmother you were. Love - Josephine

My Mother-in-law is a special lady. I have been blessed to still have this lady in our lives since my family live far away. Thank you for treating me as if I was your own daughter. I always felt your love and I still feel it today, I miss you a lot. Love - Frida
