Journal entry by Kari Schmitz —
Please join us as we come together to honor and celebrate the extraordinary life of Kari on Sunday, February 25 at 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm in Winter Garden, FL. Please come and share your memories and stories of the time we shared together.
Since the venue requires an attendee count, a separate RSVP invitation will be sent out via evite to you in the coming days. If you are planning to attend from out of town and need a hotel, we recommend doing a Google search for "Flamingo Crossings hotels near Disney World". Several Hilton and Marriott branded hotel options are available, all close proximity to the venue.
In Kari's 57 years of life, she built a wonderful extended family with you, her many, many friends. Kari's mom Nancy instilled in her the belief that your friends are your family, too, and Kari was the best friend anyone could have.
For those of you who are moved to give, in lieu of flowers, a charitable donation may be made to Bears Who Care: Bears Who Care
Love to all,
The Schmitz family
