Dear Kari,
Just wanted to tell you that your little angel is just that, a little angel. Dan and Skylar came to see me last week. She has grown so much this year! She is all a grandma can ask for. So beautiful, intelligent, funny and sweet. Dan is doing a great job. He and you have some wonderful friends that help him out. God bless them. He works so hard. He loves you and misses you, just like Skylar.Their lives ar missing a part, but they stick together to get along.
Miss you and pray for you every day. God bless you. Aren't you glad it doesn't hurt any more?
Love you angel.
Give my little Deanna a hug from Mommy, please.

My Darling Kari,
Another birthday has passed without you here. Things are really strange /different. We miss you so much.
Dan and Skylar are getting along... She still wakes up almost every night crying for you. Dan does his best to comfort her, but there are no words to get Mommy back.
Their money problems are not going away, but Dan tries to make sure that Skylar gets everything she needs. Her schooling is going great (you should hear her rattle off the multiplication tables!!)
She is growing like a weed! She is so beautiful, inside and out.
Just telling you that we all miss you. I still can't believethat you are not here. I know that you are looking down on us, I hope with approval. My daughter (your sister-in-law) Deanna came to join you 5/12/09. Of course I am devastated again. You guys are trying my heart! I am a basket case. I hear from Skylar and that helpsso much. Her little words of love and laughter make me happy. I thank God for giving us one of his angels. She keeps Daniel alive I am sure.
Well my darling, Keep smiling down on us. May God grant you peace. Enjoy Heaven until we all see you again.
Love Mom

Hi, Baby Girl!!
Honey, we miss you so much! I have your family pictures up, and the new ones from 2 Christmases!! Your husband is still gorgeous!!! and your daughter is amazing. She is so bright and beautiful. Dan is doing a great job. I know you are watching. Give him a nudge once in a while to keep him going. He had a heart scare the other day... He is okay but it scared us all. He just has so much on his mind and is working 36 hr shifts plus.. You both had some terrific friends that are easing some of the worry about watching her while he works. Oh, dear God O wish the money problems could be straightened out and he could be relieved about that... Say a Prayer to God that things will ease up.
I know that you knew about Darren being there to help get you situated, but You had to really be surprised to be there to greet your sister-in-law, Deanna on June 12, 2009. She was 42.Just couldn't wake up from the valve replacement. At least you both are out of pain now. She smiled through the pain and gave us all hope.She loved to talk to Skylar. Skylar called her "Little Auntie Ann",

Kari, we think and Pray for you all of the time.I thank God for bringing you into my son's life.
Dan, I wish I could figure out how to get the money to contribute to Skylar's education fund at Capital one in Little Rock. God will find a way.
Please be safe on your Med Flights. Save the people. God gave you a gift. I'm so proud of you.
Kari, Please look down on us and bless us with your love.
God bless you Angel. Say hello to your Mom for us.
Angels watching over us.

Love,
Mom

I missMy wife... Skylar and I had our anaversary dinner at the IHOP , a fitting place since we were always on the run... We never relized that God had a plan for us you and I and today I still am in question of his plan, When we took our vowes we promised till death us do part... I still love you Kari, each and everyday I think of you and Skylar and I talk of you.. I think she has a better understanding of death, the finality of it every now and then she has fitfull dreams that wake me ( I can't sleep without her by my side) Some times if I hold her and sing 'Daddy's little Girl" it is enough then other times I have to wake her, and answer the questions of why you can't come back... we have climbed Pinical Mountain several times she has a special place, a big rock she sits there and says she is watching God's TV... The Vapor Trails from the jets high in the sky are the buffet lines, she talks about what she wants to be when she grows up, a Vetrinarian... She shares your love for animals, everything is so "adorable, or soooo special" I wanted to write this yesterday so it would be posted on our anaversary but you know how our night went... She is sooo smart she is outstanding in her class, we have cut back on things and may have to cut back more, but I have done so, so that I can spend more time with her. I volenteer at the school, something I know you'd get a hoot out of doing, I,ve been asked to take the substute test so that I can fill in and get paid but then i wouldnt get to be with her class all the time... We were workers on the float and of course "T Davis Dolphins Float" reigned victorious... Skylar rightly so was a princess. She stays with your Aunt Lou some and I think it does them both some good sometime Skylar tells me that "Aunte forgot to do something" but its always something minor like taking out the trash, or sweeping the porch. We dont have a whole lot its as it was before pay check to paycheck, but we have memories... every drawer and every little box in the closets have pictures of you riding with Ross Brown, Bart Barlogie, Jenifart,,Ingrid,Starre,Joseylynn, picktures of you jumping expansive jumps and attacking banks and drops.... I am so lost without you... I feel so guilty, I am asked everday at work to put it all on the line, to jump into the hospital and preform untold miricles while my patients are still entraped, I go to rural hospitals and bring superior care to their bedside, But I wasnt able to save you... 20 minutes earlier you were asking me to rub your legs a promise i didnt get to keep, I still have nightmares of the last time I held you in my arms in the floor of our bedroom,.. Again I have to say I believe god has a plan for us all and I have a party to plan in a very short time SKylar's birthday is in the countdown stage... unfortunatly she has heard me say it one to many time as she too wants "one of each"... She is my happily ever after, but I wanted to share that with you... I miss you Kari Today and everyday. XXXOOO Dan

My dearest darling Angel,
You have been gone for almost one year.
Today is your Birthday and we will celcbrate with love and Prayers. Our tears have been shed and smiles have come and gone. Nothing seems to help the lonliness that we feel.
My beautiful sweet lady. if you could only see your little daughter at your "Dying Place".. She talks to you and dances with you sings with you and tells stories about you. She is the spark that keeps us going.
Things are tight, but Dan id trying so hard to be a good Daddy. You are always in his thoughts. Their plans and activities are planned around what you and Dan had talked about.
I still have a black hole in my heart, but it doesn't hurt as much. I am still a little angry that you had to leave us all. Carmen has your picture on his table by his recliner. St. Joseph is there and Padre Pio is ther. with Mary and the Angels.
I'm done,, Darling.. We know you walk beside Dan and Skylar, guiding and keeping them safe. Words can never explain the heartache we feel. God is with us all and has work for us to do. When our tribulation is dnoe, we will be allowed to join you in His beautiful home.
Angels watching over you.
Love,
Momma Joy/Grandma
XOXOXO

three months have passed this is true
And our love for you hasnt changed one bit
The first time you saw Us you said you knew
to me your love you did profess and
after much work having her you did confess
each day reminds us of the love we shared
each day I wonder why my life was spared

Today we sit together one on each side of
the place between us where you still live
She reminds me daily of love and laughter
Our blood flows thru her veins and heart
this daughter of ours is so very smart
and it's only because of her that there will be a long life for me and OUR happily everafter

To hold me like a baby she daily asks
from sun up to sundown it's my favorite task
a space between us she does always leave
As she proudly boasts Mommy is all around us and will live in my heart for ever

Three months have passed this is true
but our love is still only for you

We love you Mommy

My Dearest Darling Daniel B and Skylar,
Oh my darling son. When Jim called to tell me about Kari, I couldn't believe it. My little Kari was so loving and kind to me. Talking to Skylar on the speaker phone was a pleasure that you, Kari and I shared almost nightly. You and Kari were always in the background encouraging Skylar to sing, say prayers, say her Bible verses, and tell Grandma goodnight. Kari would call when you were working a 24 andI would be updated on that day's accomplishments of our little angel. There were many. I had a hard time getting things out of Kari, (health, job, home,etc) but she would go on and on about Skylar and you.

I was so glad I could be with you and Skylar when you needed me... Kari always wanted me to come down to be with you. She sure didn't have to go this far. During my visit with you, I had to be calm. I had to hide my heartache from you and Sky. You have to know that my heart is breaking and aching so much. You have been there for me, when your brother died. I needed to be strong for you and Sky, as you were for me.

You know that I stand beside you. I wish I could take the pain and heartache for you, but I know that you have to walk this mile alone. Thank God that he blessed you with Kari's love and that you joined your love to make our little angel, Skylar. She will be the saving grace in your life and you in hers. Soon the tears will slow down and the black hole in your heart will get smaller.

No matter what you do, Kari will always be with you. Depend on her to appear to you in the smallest things. The birds, the clouds in the sky, the animals and of course the horses in the fields. They are all free.

Kari was my love. You shared her with me. Thank you, darling. Give Skylar a hug and kiss for me every day.

Be good and May God Bless you and keep you safe.

Love,
Mom
XOXO

Please know that I am so very proud of you, Kari and Skylar. You risk your life every day to save others. Maybe some of them can be grateful and be there for you.

Angels watching over you.

Kari gave me the most prescious of god's gift the gift of life... the life of my daughter Skylar Blaine... and on our 10th wedding anniversary she gave us both a trip to the bahamas... This I will shre was my gift...

I love my wife

I love my wife this is true
she said from the first that she knew
That one time together our live's we'd spend
Now look how fast the years have flown

We have worked together side by side
You stuck beside me as if by glue
Even when I was bad and made you cry
Your love for me you did profess.

Home from work, I came one day
To find three plates at our table for two
I was at a loss for what to say
one each for my Bescherba, myself and baby that makes three

One day you'll read this and remember the past
You'll wonder out loud "How time has gone by so fast"
Your eyes will fill with tears of joy
your face will smile

As an image of you, you will see from down the isle
Walking hand in hand with her daddy thats me
I now sit down beside you unable to speak
Listening to the words from she and he

Through tears of joy, hope,and happiness we now see
Why the lord made a place for my bescherba and me
Today it's my turn to say to you
"I love you, my wife, this is true

Happy Anniversary November 11, 2005

I LOVE MY MOMMY

written by MY Daddy for me to my mommy on 11/11/2005 our 10th wedding anaversary in the Bahamas...

I love my mommy this is true
to see the world she gave me eyes soooo blue
Of all of God's animals she is fond
to make me pretty the hair she gave me is blonde

Soon she will tell me all she knows
What made the moon, what made the sun?
What makes the clouds and all thats fun?

I love my mommy surely this she does know
For counting she gave me ten fingers and toes
from the first time I saw her I did know

She's my mommy and I do love her soooo
From the time I wake be it morning or noon
She loves me no matter what I do

Sometimes a mess I do make
But its cookies and candy she does bake
She loves me no matter what I do

There is nothing in this world I have found
That feels so warm and smells so good
As my mommy to whom I am bound

We share our blood this is true
A lifetime is in store of laughter and love
The skin we share is that of a dove

I love my mommy this is true
Skylar Blaine is my name
X's and O's I hold for her for now and always

I LOVE YOU MOMMY

I have just recently learned of Kari's passing and want to express my deepest sympathies to her family. I met her many years ago when she came with Carroll to look at my horse, Stormy. Over the next several years, I occassionally spoke with her, enjoying the confidence and enthusiasm in her voice, and the kindness of her personality. Even at that age, she touched the lives of those who met her in a very positive and uplifting way. My heart goes out to her family. With sympathy, Fleeta Fore

Dan and Skylar-
I just heard the news of Kari's passing. I am so sorry to hear the horrible news. I just wanted to let you know that Kari has and always will hold a special place in my heart. She taught me how to ride and how to love horses. When I was six and first met Kari I knew she had the perfect life, my goal from that day on was to have a stable, be a trainer, and compete at Rolex. My goals have not changed. Kari has inspired me to do so much with my life and I only wish she was still apart of it. She was a wonderful mentor and will never be forgotten.

Our hearts go out to every member of Kari's family. I know there is nothing that I can write to ease your pain. She was such a wonderful person and the Lord called her home so suddenly and so young.

Although we only sporadically touched bases over the last 8 years, I spent a portion of almost every day for 3 years at Fox Creek Farm and I remember all the times Kari and I laughed and all she taught me about horses and life. I always felt her to be a very special person, I was lucky to have known her, and although we did not maintain a close connection, I will miss her.

Dan, Dana, Skylar, Mr. Barber and everyone else that loved Kari - I do believe we will all meet Kari again but until that day may the Lord keep you close and comfort you during this most difficult time of loss.

Wendy Andberg

Tuesday, July 8, 2008

Our hearts go out to all of Kari's family and friends. We are so sorry for this tragedy. She was a beautiful, talented, and accomplished woman, and I wish I had known her. I knew her only through Dana, and her death is a shock to everyone. I am holding you all in my heart. With love, Wendy

My heart is just broken for Dan and Skylar. Kari was my first riding instructor when I moved to Little Rock, but she was also a good friend. I will never forget my trip to Champagne Run with her and Pre. Tim and I will miss her so much! We take great comfort in knowing that she is with the Lord!

Dan and Skylar, I wish I could have been there for the service. Carolyn called me Thursday to let me know what had happened. I was just shocked. I just talked with Kari last week. We were planning on going to lunch when I got back in town. I keep thinking about you guys being up at the office with Skylar running around. Kari had such a vivacious personality, always so much fun to be around. I miss her so much. I am sure that I will think of her often, think of all the fun we had. I really want to come see you and Skylar sometime. I hope that sweet little girl is doing o-kay. I am thankful that you all have so many loving friends and family around. I hope to see you soon. Take care.

While I was remembering Kari this morning, I thought of a quote that just simply states-"Great minds have purposes, others have wishes". But for Kari it's not simple, it is her life! With her drive, determination she made her life achievements and purposes have a magnificent place in this world.

Her compassion towards animals is where we shared a bond and she will forever have a place in my heart. God bless you all.

Her humor and talent will be greatly missed. I know she is flying over the big fences in Heaven.

Keep Jesus in your heart and cling to his comfort at this time. You are all in my prayers.

Dear Dan and family,

I just wanted to say how very sorry I am for the unexpected loss of such a beautiful soul. Kari will always be that person I tell storiees to my own daughter. She was my brother's first real girlfriend and she was "it" to me.

I thought Kari was so incredible. I will always remember her picking me up in the black mustang, with the T tops off of course, and driving down Geyer Springs singing "Blondes in Black Cars"......she was my first babysitter and I thought she hung the moon. I will also remember her clinque pink lipstick and shiny blonde ponytail.

Skylar and Dan, may God bring you the comfort you need during these difficult days.... and may the memories you have bring a smile to your face everytime. Kari was a blessing to many people in many ways.

Sunday, July 6, 2008

During my brief encounter with Kari and her long time friend, Linda Porter here in Perkasie, PA in May of this year I witnessed Kari's passion and enthusiasm for horses and horsemanship and I immediately began to admire her. Not just for that but during her two day visit with us, while intently focused on the job at hand, she talked endlessly about her daughter and how lucky she felt to have had her and how every moment with her was a blessing. I saw pictures and heard stories as much about her daughter as I did about the horses she touched, something I dare say all we mothers could learn from. As I am also a 40+ mother with a 4 yr old daughter and heavily involved in the horses I felt a kinship to Kari and I am deeply saddened by her family's loss. My heart goes out to them and I just wanted to let her daughter know how much her mother thought of her even when she was busy with her equestrian passion.

Susan Tracey

Sunday, July 6, 2008

As I am not able to attend the service for Kari, I wanted to offer my deepest sympathy to Dan, Skylar and Mr. and Mrs. Barber.
I will always have fond memories of Kari at the many equestrian events we both competed in over the years. Most promiment of which was the Horse Trials at Jubilee Farm.
We were all very proud of the local rider that achieved her goals in eventing and I'll never forget her dad who was always there to cheer her on along with all the other competitors.
She will be missed by many.

My daughter, Ann, enjoyed years of riding Kari's rescue horse, Ladakh, who is retired and living in Wisconsin.

I am an eventer myself and started eventing when I was 10 years old, (now 30) at that time to find people who evented in the state of arkansas were few and far between. Kari was someone I looked up to as I started my career in the eventing world. Her and Stormy always inspired me to compete at the upper levels. Kari will deeply be miss.

What a shock to hear about the loss of Kari. She, myself, and Teresa went to school together and it has been years since I last visited with her. I can say this world has lost a wonderful person and heaven has gained another angel. She is riding the finest horses the LORD has in his stable and waiting for all of us to come and ride with her one day.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

My deepest sympathies to the family of Kari Barber Arnold. I was saddened to hear of her passing on to the great riding ring in the sky, where she will no doubt, be met once again by Mr. Mann and Stormy. And Toby, of course.

I recall once when she was a young teen working for Marty at the location across from the Fletchers', I had been out working with my horse, returned to the barn and put him away. Walking through the barn, I discovered that my orange Mustang was gone. I looked all over the place and found someone had moved it - into the old hay barn up on the hill behind the main barn.. thought it was very cute and drove it back down to the front and got out, asking who did this. One look at Kari's impish grin was enough.

May peace be with you all at this time

We are unable to imagine your grief and heartache losing Kari. She was last a young girl when we knew her. She and Dana were candle lighters in our wedding. We kept up with her some through the years by conversations we had with Aunt Chris, Evelyn and Lynnell's Mom and Dad. We to are sad. We will pray that the joy of Kari's life will bring new blessings in the days ahead to your family. Our love and prayers, Chuck and Lynnell Fuester

Dan and Skylar and family,
Clayton and I are thinking of you and praying for you during this difficult time. Kari is such a bright light and was so much fun to be around. I am sure it took her no time to find God's most talent steed when He brought down his golden chariot. Surely she is smiling down at us on horseback.

Those of us who rode with Kari all share a smiliarlity in that she believed in us. She had a reputation for spotting talent in a horses, but she also had a keen eye for seeing the talent in her students, no matter how great or how small. She fostered our abilities, laughed at our mistakes, shared in the joy of our successes, challenged us and made it interesting, but most of all she made it fun. She has left her mark on countless people in this region through her inspiration and encouragement. She was a wonderful coach and friend.

I will always remember singing Bohemian Rapsody and Leather and Lace while driving long hours to horse shows with Coolio in the stretched out in the backseat and Birdie on her shoulder.

I miss her so much.

Fondly,

Thank-You for all the love you gave away to the ones of us so blessed to have crossed your path in this life, for we will meet again to live in eternity with you forever.

We will all miss you, Cliff,Deane,Payton,Lindsey and Beaux Peck.

I am so very sorry for your loss. As a child, I played w/ Kari & Dana and alot of my best memories were the 3 of us romping around their parents yard, riding horses, playing w/ turtles, etc. Those memories are still so fresh in my mind and I carry them w/ me constantly. Though I haven't been in touch w/ Kari and family over the years, there's not a year that goes by where they are not thought of and prayed for many times over. What a precious family and what a wonderful spirit Kari is. I know she is leaving such a void in your lives - you will be in my thoughts and prayers! Stacey

Dear Danny and Skylar,

Carmen and I are so sorry to learn of Kari's passing. She was a wonderful person to know and love. Even though we did not have a chance to see much of each other, we know how special a person she truly is. She had many accomplishments in her short life and being a loving wife and mother was her greatest.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you both and may God comfort you in this time of need. Kari will be sorely missed.

In Our Love,
Debbie & Carm

Dan, Skylar and family,
We are so sorry to learn of Kari's death. She was a beautiful lady, fun loving and such a devoted mother. She loved and cared for all our neighborhood's stray animals, and it is obvious she taught that compassion for animals to Skylar.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you both. Let us know if you need anything at all at any time.

God bless,
Joseph and Jill Tamo

Dear Dan and Skylar,
Know that you are in my prayers and that I am deeply saddened by Kari's death. She was a very dynamic and charismatic person who gave all she had in her many campaigns; who accomplished more than most of us in the short time she was with us; and that by her absence we are all diminished. My love and support to you and your family.

Todd and I were deeply saddened to learn of Kari's sudden death. As our hearts are breaking for you both, we can recall fond memories of Kari laughing and riding. She was such a bright light. We will look for a new star in the heavens tonight and know her love will be with you always. Our deepest sympathy to you both in this time of grief.
