No words can truly express the mixed emotions felt when one of your favorite humans in the world is suffering.
There's gratitude for the gift of having such an amazing & loyal friend, incredible memories to reflect upon (going back to 1998 when we first met), as well as feelings of complete powerlessness, extreme sadness, and that awful four-letter word: FEAR!
However, KKari Kronhas always lived each day to the fullest with her faith, trust, and a sprinkle of pixie dust. She's not a half-empty-glass person; she is a full-glass person, even if there's only a drop in the glass. Her positive outlook and giving personality is a rare find. She sees the best in others and life. She has made me a better person simply by knowing her.
Kari has an incredible husband, teen daughter, family, and many friends, all surrounding her with lots of love, light, and prayers.
I wanted to share two links with you all. A GoFundMe campaign to help Kari's family with unexpected expenses to keep Kari as comfortable as possible:

The other link is to her Caring (i.e., "Karing") Bridge online journal, where she has been sharing her journey very openly since her diagnosis at the end of May 2023.
TTad Schmitz(Kari's husband) posted an update on Kari's health today. I'll post that link in the comments below.
If you can't make a monetary donation to Kari's GoFundMe campaign, please share this with people who know her or anyone you know who likes supporting people in need.)
I love you, KMA! Because of you, I'm now an honorary "Jersey Girl," too. xoxoxoxoxoxo
(NOTE: Feel no obligation to tip/donate to either site: GoFundMe or CaringBridge. Often, you think you are sending money to the person in need, which ends up being a donation/tip to the platform).
