Some of you may have visited Karen Russell's blog over the last few months and years. She is a scrapbooking lady too. She has shown remarkable strength and faith in the face of some awful personal challenges - one of her four sons contracted brain cancer as a teen and this week, he sadly lost his battle for life. When Scrapchat set a challenge to make a page about an inspiring woman who I had never met in person, who else could I choose but Karen.
Karen, if you ever see this, I hope it brings you a small measure of comfort to know you are an inspiring person. I hope you will take this as my tribute to your sorrow and loss.

Susan,
What a beautiful page about a beautiful woman... who just happens to be my sister! Karen truly is everything you said... she is an inspiration to us all.
I am so glad that Marcus and Karen have been able to touch your life in such a positive way. I'm going to email her and tell her about your beautiful tribute. Hopefully she'll be up to visiting your blog soon.
Thank you for your post.

o Susan ! indeed a wonderful tribute to Karen ! very challenging times indeed for her & her family !
This is beautiful. I'm sure YOU are at the top of many fine people's "most inspiring" list for your kindess and thoughtfulness
Dear Susan,
WOW, is all I can say. I am deeply touched to see this page. I really don't know what to say except Thank You. It is a beautiful tribute, and means so much to me. It is a comfort to know that Marcus' life and death made such a difference in my life, because I took strength from him as well as many others did. This tribute reminds me that he still lives to give me strength to make it through today.
You are such a sweetheart to think of me in this way, and put so much time and effort into something so beautiful. I will never forget you. I hope this all makes sense, because my thoughts are pretty jumbled today. But I wanted you to know that I think you are amazing. Thanks so much!
Karen Russell
