Karin was a lifelong friend, and I will miss her forever. Love to the family — I think about you every day.
Dear Karin,
I only met you in real life once when you and your mother Helen and sister Louise paid us a visit at our summer cottage in Öland, Sweden in the summer of 2014. Even though it was only a couple of days you made a lasting impression on all of us with your humor and kindness.
We only have happy and nice memories of your visit and I am sorry that we won’t meet again.
I am sincerely sorry to hear of your passing and I trust that you are at peace and without pain now.
Rickard Heath and family (Filippa, Selma and Ellie)
I first met Karin in a translation course at Concordia University in the early 1990s. She was a superb teacher: demanding, exacting, one of the best. We lost track of each other for several years, but then reconnected thanks to Facebook and our shared love of murder mystery novels. When BoucherCon was held in Toronto in 2017, Karin stayed at my home.
Karin was a lovely, intelligent, wonderful woman. The world has lost a truly wonderful soul.
My deepest condolences to her family. She will be greatly missed by many.
I met Karin about 20 years ago at a Translation Conference in Ottawa... along with two other translators, we ended up hanging out together for the entire conference, and kept in touch over the years.
She told me in a private message in 2019 about the cancer a couple of days after her first chemo treatment. I was going through my own situation, and we would check in with each other. I am so sad that she is gone. She was so kind and supportive.
I worked with Karin when we were both on the board of the LTAC. She was an easy person to like and had a great sense of humour. The pictures she posted on FB showed what a keen eye she had. Most sincere condolences to her family and kin.
