Karen, Karen, Pizza, Pizza -- I hope you're feeling the love, because I sure am, and that's watching from the sidelines. Karen you are such a gift to your friends and the community, and I love how it all came together. Here's to the people you know and the strangers you don't, to the generous souls who helped you realize your dream, pizza for the people. (...wish I had a slice right now!)
Creator Tamara Kittredge on May 19, 2012
Karen congratulations, your passion for life is contagious; your work ethic unwavering; and your pizza, well out of this world. Good things happen to good people, and on a selfish note I can gorge myself on wood fired pizza at the Saturday market.
Creator Don Joseph on May 19, 2012
I'm proud of you girl. I told you that pizza was alive and well on Vashon. I'm glad to be a part of it.

The suspense is driving me crazy.......and, from all the way across the country, the love and generosity of Vashon brings tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart. Rooting for you, Karen. Wish I could send you $5k along with my prayers :)

Dearest Karen,
I pledge this in honor of two things:
1. My dad! It's his birthday today and this is a brilliant present!
2. You gave me so much when I needed it. You are a beloved mentor and friend. I love you forever.

".....eyes bright with wistful dreams, I gazed upon the evening stars and thought of things yet to be. A time when the light of summer days had danced across my face and gently kissed my brow....reminding me of who I am and what I wished to be. Of lonesome fall days when autumn leaves crackeled beneath my feet.....to awaken the dream within. Of whispered names and quiet places....where one finds those things of need. As the seasons passed and I grew gray, I looked beyond my yesterdays and through the twilight mist I saw, the measure of my life.....The dreams I dreamed so long ago had come true for me - I was loved and I had loved.....with both done well....."
Ms.Karen, it's obvious by the generous support that you have received that you have touched the lives of many in a positive manner. I repect and admire you for your intelligence, humor and spirit. Your courage to live your dreams, whatever they may be, is inspiring....."pizza", a metaphor for a life lived without fear.....one lived well.....one where you are well loved. By your grace and generosity you make good things happen.....for all of us! If I were a chick, I'd want to be like you (except taller). Your Friend, E
