To say that Kara had a kind and generous heart is an understatement. She was always willing to go above and beyond for those she loved and cared about. I will never forget her beautiful smile and amazing sense of humor! I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to know Kara. She will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this most difficult time.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

She was a blessed friend with a infectious laugh and smile. I met Kara at Ann Taylor Loft. Kara was a bridesmaids in my wedding in 2013. I know Kara for 14 years. May we all have the sparkle Kara had when she entered a room. She will be truly missed everyday of our lives. Love you forever Kara. xoxoxox<br />

The Swann Family is deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Kara. She so thoughtfully offered her condolences 3 years ago to us when we lost our son/brother. She had never even met Steve, yet she reached out to us in our time of grief. Our hope is that she has been reunited with her equally wonderful mother Maria, whom we adored. Our thoughts are with Colin, Laura, Daniel, and Ethan during this most difficult time.
