It's many years past her passing now, but I was one of Karolyn's earth semester students in Oracle, AZ and I appreciated the privilege of being her student. She loved Ursula K Le Guin, if my memory serves me correctly, and hearing her talk about some of UKLG's other work, such as the novel The Left Hand of Darkness, while the class was reading Always Coming Home, led me to read that book and many others of Ursula's books, which I have loved totally beyond all reason. In the twenty-teens we lost both Karolyn and Ursula, but I like to think I "knew what they meant" without arrogance - I think they had the same kind of amazing and revolutionary type of mind - and I will now look forward to reading Karolyn's books and pursuing the path of writing somehow myself because it is time.

Throughout our friendship of 45 years, Karolyn showed me what it means to be brave and kind. And witty and bossy. All of the traits of a strong, brilliant woman. She lives on in my life and the lives of so many people she encountered.

I am so lucky to have crossed paths with amazing Karolyn in my life, and very sad that she is gone. The Arizona Native Plant Society will will miss her insights, company, and no-bullshit spirit.

Karolyn was a great advocate for the Feldman's Addition Neighborhood. Martin and I are deeply grateful for all that Karolyn and Peter have done. They have been great neighbors. I'm sad to think that I can't send her another email or read any of her postings on the listserv. We miss her very much.

I miss you much sweet Karolyn.

We didn't know Karolyn well - only through our connection with Peter - it seems we missed out! But we will remember visiting and being served wonderful apple cobbler while the rabbit supervised! Brad and Barbara

Karolyn was a quiet force in our community. Her contributions to the greater good were always done without the need for personal recognition. I admired her strength and her determination, and I'm sad to see her leave our world. We'll continue to work towards the vision of peace and balance in her honor.

Karolyn, indomitable spirit, sine qua non. She made me a better person (sometimes by butting heads with me!) and our neighborhood in Tucson a better place. The way Karolyn's mind worked was a delight to me. She was full of surprises . . . quirky insights into complex issues, angles I never would have seen. She boldly went where I would have feared to go, dragging me along as she networked with folks I wouldn't have dared to approach. It's hard to imagine battling the forces that drive urban blight in our community without her.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Karolyn Kendrick. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
