Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy. Rest in peace sweet angel!

I pray for you and all of your family Karissa. The world lost an angel far too soon. I will never ever forget your radiant smile.

May you RIP. You were a sweet girl and your life was taken way to soon.

You have touched our hearts in so many ways....Rest in Peace Karissa........ From Belmont N.S

In her passing, Karissa captured the hearts of so many all across the country. A parent of two little girls, I have been deeply affected by her story. She will forever be in our hearts. Our heartfelt condolences to all who loved and cared for her. Our thoughts are with you.

you were an angle on earth and now one in heaven

i will never forget your smile & the way you warmed up a room just by walking in.Also how much kindness and patience you had for Sean even after making you watch Blues Cluses for hours on end(LOL).But most of all I'll never forget the last time we spent together, at the side of the pond with you & Sean playing in the water. I wish Kasey could have known you.We love you sweetie & will miss you forever.

R.I.P Karissa ..I didn't know you personally but my heart goes out to you and your family ..you have touched my heart the last few weeks

I would not like for you to cry It's just a part of life to die I know you miss me and you're sad But dying isn't something bad. I'm only just beyond your sight I've gone with Angels to the light I send to all of you my love From Heaven's gardens up above. I like it here, I'm having fun And I am with The Holy One I am sitting on His knee With Jesus watching over me. So many souls I knew before Were waiting here at Heaven's Door To welcome me with open arms And keep me safe and make me warm. So when you think of me please smile For I will see you in a while Trust the Lord, don't ask Him why He wants me here to paint the sky With rainbows, clouds and shining lights To brighten days and warm your nights Remember what I said before Please don't cry for me any more. I am Heaven's Child, you see I play with Angels surrounding me I can fly with the speed of thought To be with you when you think I'm not So please remember I love you And I know you love me too And even now, while we're apart I'm still right here ... I'm in your heart.

dear karissa we went to the beach today and got you a sand dollar we know how much you liked them

Even though I didn't know her personally I do grief for her and her family. There is a hope for her in the bible at John 5:28,29 it tells us there will a time when we will see our dead loved ones again. I hope this gives to those comfort and more importantly hope. You will be in our prayers and you will be missed.

Dear Family and Friends, I never knew any of you before. But I feel so bad since Karissa's life was snuffed out I have to send this message. She is in God's care and memory now and can never again be hurt by anyone. Please believe me. Sincerely, Manley Burns

Who ever did this horrible crime against you, I hope and pray that they will be severely punished. I am certain that your sweet face is smiling down upon us.

Your horrible and untimely death has shattered the hearts of many. I have two daughters, ages 12 and 14. When I pray for their safety I will say a prayer for you as well, asking God to keep you in his loving arms, where pain and violence will be no more. Rest in peace.

You dear little child..you had so much to live for.And then someone you know took your life....Nothing will bring you back....and there is no punishment for the person who has done this....Today the law is on the side of the murderer and the not the one who has been killed. Having said that Karissa your life here didn't sound to exciting going from your Dad to your Mom with a lot of confusion.You were so young. God is with you now and he has chosen for you to come home to a better place .So now you are in heaven and God's little Angel Bless you Karissa

REST in peace beautiful angel girl...your soul can rest...they will find out what happened to you really soon!!!

My Heart, prayers & thoughts are with your family, Karissa, I know you are in a better place and will someday be a "Guardian Angel" watching over some special person. It is so sad to have something so serious happen to a very dearly loved & precious girl who should have had so many years left to enjoy.

Dear Karissa, I have never met you and sadley never will in this life time... my heart has been with you since the day you went missing... the angels are with you and I am sorry that you were taken away too soon from this earth... justice will be served!!!

Dear Karissa--I am so sorry to hear of your story! You have touched a place in my heart and will be remembered forever---even though I have never met you. Rest in peace! You are safe now.
