Karin's liver failed, heart and kidney have mostly failed and not recovered. The kidney doctor said in all his years he has never seen such a strong patient fade so rapidly and he cried.
My Love is going home. Grandma and I are at home scrambling to get to the hospital.

Oh Steve - are hearts are breaking for you. I pray for the comfort that only our God can bring - you and Karin have been a blessing in our lives.

I am just so sad for your family. I will be praying for your peace throughout all that you will have to endure.

Steve, Nina & Grant,
God is with you. None of us understand but we must trust. Blessings upon each of you.
Karin, if this is how it must be, then Godspeed my friend. Peace be yours. I love you.
Leanne
So very sorry to hear this. I've been praying so much the last few days. I'm a friend of Karin's from the Furman days who just recently "found" her again on Facebook, right before the diagnosis.
I'm so sorry for you all, but still praying for a miracle.

Tearfully,

Steve and Family,
I am so sorry to hear this. I have been praying for a miracle. I pray now that you have peace in your hearts and that we all do knowing that Karin will be home and will be able to watch over all of us. So so sad. Love and Peace to all of you.
Heather
Oh Steve, what can be said? I know Karin's love for Jesus and that He is there with all of you right now. Her homecoming with Him will be amazing, but my heart breaks for you and those precious little children. I pray you will feel God's love and peace, even during the tears and hurt. I am so so sorry. Thank you for keeping us all updated, even though it must be heart-wrenching to do so.
This news is hard to take. I never met her, but know her cousins, and we have been praying for her in Bible study. I can see by this site that she is a beautiful person, and my heart is breaking for you, too, like others here. I am lifting you, Karin, and all her loved ones and her medical team up in prayer. ~Janine Miller
Steve and Family -
I am speechless and can't understand how you must be feeling. You will remain in my prayers always.
Karl
My prayers are with you, your family and Karin's medical team in this emotional time.

Steve,
In this time of sadness, I am thankful and happy the Karin is a child of God. I am very sad for the children. They have had much loss in their lives already at such a young age to last a lifetime. I pray Karin is peaceful.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I can't imagine how you must feel right now, I'm keeping you and your family in our prayers. May God give you the peace and the strenght you need during these time. Karin, is a wonderful person, and love knowing her and your family...

Steve,
My heart goes out to you. I can only imagine the pain that you are feeling. I pray that God gives you peace and comfort through this time and the days to come. You all are in our prayers.
Megan
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Peace be with you all,
Melissa, Ken & Anna Webber
I can't find the words to say how sad it is to hear this news; and I'm sure no matter what words I found, they wouldn't come close to what Steve and the rest of Karin's family are feeling right now. Please just know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers today, and that I will be asking God to grant you the strength to sustain you through whatever lies ahead.
Peace,
Leanna Kelley Fuller
Steve,
I just cannot believe this is happening. I don't know you and Karin very well, but you've put up such a strong front that I did not know how serious things were until last week. I really believed there was more the doctors could do. It's like a dream. I've sung with Karin in church. She was supposed to sing tomorrow. I'm really just speechless. She was so strong and positive. Just know we feel for your entire family and will do our best to support you through this difficult time.
Jan and Frank Yarborough
I'm so sorry. We'll keep praying for her, for your family. May God wrap you in His peace.
Jeffrey Westbrook
Ah, Karin. It seems our loving Heavenly Father may be ending your suffering and carrying you to himself. If is be so, the Goodbye, Dear One.
You have lived well and will be missed greatly. Those who love you have been steadfast and mighty in hope and strength. And God will bring peace and comfort to all.
We stand at the shore watching a ship near the far horizon. What you must see as you near the other side! We still ache to see you turn around and come back to us, but if you slip out of sight, we will gather in the comfort of being those who knew and loved you.
Steve & Family,
My thoughts and prayers have been with you all for months and will continue to be. There really are no words to express the sadness right now. It is just so hard to take and to even believe it's real.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.

Steve, my heart is breaking for you and the family. You are in my prayers. Emily

We are saddened. May God be with you to give you the strength needed to get throught this heartbreaking situation.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dearest Steve,
I am typing through tears of grief for you and Karin and your families. I pray that you will find the peace of God, rest in knowing Karin's faith and future in Christ Jesus, and that you will be comforted in a time that is so incredibly painful.
We love each one of you.
Mark, Danette & Luke Robb
Steve,
We are so sorry this has happened to your family. We too are having trouble believing it has happened so fast, and are praying hard for all of you.
Love
Kelley and Steve Rude
Steve, Nina and Grant: Susan just called to say that ever since yesterday she has been 'hearing' Grandpa and Grandma Walsh singing, "What a Friend we have in Jesus." The words keep going over and over in her mind. Susan believes that this message has been sent to bring her the comfort she needs right now as she thinks of Karin leaving us.
So much love going out to you from family on this side of the border.
Love, Aunt Diane
Oh Steve,
I am not quite sure what to say except that you, the kids and extended family are in my prayers. Karin will be missed by so many and I know I am one of them!

(we are the ones that you all met in our hotel room after we brought Sadie home from Russia while you were waiting to bring Kevin home, just in case the name isn't familiar)
Steve,
I can not imagine what's going on in your heart, but please know that we are all praying for you all.
Our prayers are with you at this very sad and difficult time.

We at MMO are praying for you all, and especially for Kien, whom we already love so much and Aria, whom we have only just met. We don't understand, and we grieve with you, but we do believe that God is good...all the time.

Steve & Family,
The Langson adoptive moms (the group Karin started online) are with you in spirit and will miss our dear friend who faught long and hard to bring her little Vietnamese "twins" home. We were all touched to have known Karin. She has become a wonderful friend to many of us.

I honestly do not know what to say. You are stronger than I. You are all in our prayers constantly. Very sad day for all.
