    so sad and sorry about Kari Ann. Even though we werent real tight I feel like Ive lost a very close friend. If I walked into a bar and saw Kari and Al I knew I had some good people to b.s. with who really seemed interested in what was going on with me. Kari was such a good friend to my fiance five years ago when she was battling terminal cancer and Al also came to the house to visit her several times. Im glad I got to know Kari and there arent many cooler couples Ive known then Kari and Al.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you Al, and your families. Kari Ann Melvin was one of a kind. Always looked forward to spending time with her when we were tight. She was one of the very few that took the time to write to me and visit me when I was down for 7 years. That alone speaks volumes to me about her. She was always good for a laugh and a hug if needed. I hope she gives my dad and Steve Cleary a big hug for me. My love to you Al. <3

    What do I even say… Kari just sent me a message sending her prayers and love to my family when we found out my sister had cancer. What a kind and beautiful soul. You will be missed dear Kari. And Al… I have no words for the loss you must be feeling. Be kind to yourself and hold your memories close to your heart. Unfortunately I will be out of town this weekend but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

    I would like to express my condolonces to Al and his family. Also Kari’s family, I used to work with her mom Judy. I have known Kari for many years and she was a very wonderful woman. Always had a smile on her face. She was taken from this world way too soon. God must have needed her sooner than most of us would’ve like to let her go. She’s on to bigger and better things. See you on the other side Kari RIP

    I worked with Kari for many years at Metallics, we pulled alot of practical jokes on people and shared many laughs together. She was a very kind hearted person and always willing to help with a party, benifit, or anything that brought people together. She will be missed by those who knew her.

    My dear friend Kari Ann, you were my first roommate out of high school. I moved away but when we talked it was like I never left. We would visit every time I came home for vacation. I wish I would have been able to spend more time with you but I will see you in Heaven. My prayers go out to Al and your family. Love Misty
