Dear Ed, I was very sad to learn of Karen's death in your card yesterday. Karen's father and my mother where first cousins. Growing up our families spent lots of time together. I recall her sweet sixteen party, and their move to Hawthorne many years ago. I am sorry that Karen and I did not get to see much of each other after her mother died. I know my family wishes you good health in the years to come. Sincerely, Bill Gooth William P. J. Gooth

I have several of Karen's beautiful plate that are one of a series of uniquely Canadian fine bone china collectible plates,depicting Canada's Provincial and Territorial Floral Emblems and wondering the value of my collection. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Maureen (pmhobart@juno.com) Maureen Hobart

Karen was always fun to be with. She showed me the way up Mount Equinox, the way round Lyme Rock and Bridghampton. I watched her come in third to a D type's first and a C type's second at Watkins Glen,those were good times. She went to a lot of trouble getting me the 'birth certificate'of my car. This car is the thirteenth XJ6, and this certificate has a place of honour beside a photo that Karen took of the car on Mount Equinox. Thank you for the good times, Karen. Garry and Ruth Ontario, Canada Garry and Ruth Leak

Thank You Karen, Rest in Peace - You will be missed. With Love, Barbara and Stephen Ring Barbara and Stephen Ring

Somehow I just learned of Karen's passing. It seems just yesterday I was working with her on a Heritage Certificate for my Jaguar. Through the years she has assisted me in the highest and most profesional manner. I have enjoyed her many photographs documenting Jaguar events. My prayers are with you in this dificult time. She will be missed greatly but her wonderful work and many friends carry her touch. Sincerely, Bill Craig William Craig

What a great loss. I am so sorry to learn this news. Karen was always so upbeat and ready to help. One example that I remember happened about 10 years ago when I just acquired my XK120 and it was running a bit rough... I brought it over to some local friends who Karen happened to be visiting with at the time. In the space of 5 minutes, Karen orchestrated an immediate solution (which included roping in the expertise of her husband Ed) and the faulty plug was found and replaced. Just a small glimpse of her tireless energy, passion, and selfless service to others. She will certainly be missed. Sean O'Malley

May we express our deepest sympathy in your great loss. We also will miss her very much. Halina and Norm Christie

While I was doing some catching up on some of my past e-mails, I came across a newsletter that I hadn't read before. One of the articles was about Karen Miller. I was both shocked and saddened to hear about her family's loss. All I knew is that Karen wasn't receiving mine or other newsletters any longer. I had no idea that she was ill. Please accept my sincerest sympathy on behalf of all the members of the San Antonio Jaguar Club. Karen was always there to help and guide us when our club was new and we appreciate the kind of enthusiasm and knowledge she brought to JCNA and SAJC. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her husband, family & friends. Fran Curran, San Antonio Jaguar Club's Editor

My deepest sympathies go out to you, although I only spoke with Karen a couple of times on the telephone, she was someone who I would have like to have known better, God Bless, Art Art Dickenson, President. Pacific Jaguar.

To the family of Karen Miller, The Jaguar Club of Pittsburgh joins with other JCNA clubs around the country in mourning the loss of Karen Miller. She was indeed a pleasure to work with, whether she was helping to track down Jaguar archives information or assisting club members in submitting articles and photos to Jaguar Journal. Her enthusiasm for her work and her dedication to Jaguar cars will not be forgotten by the many friends she touched with her kindness. She is already missed. Candy Williams

I grieve with you. A person of Karen's energy, interests, and accomplishments will be sorely missed and fondly remembered. David Crowne

It was truly an honor and privilege to work with Karen on the Leaper Program, at the Middleburg, VA event, and the luncheon with Paul Skilliter. Always the consummate volunteer. She will be deeply missed by all of us. Our thoughts and prays are with you, Ed, and your family. Love, Lorry and Paul Maletsky Lorry and Paul Maletsky

On behalf of my wife and myself I would like to offer our condolences to Karen's husband and family at this very sad time. I had the privelege of speaking and working with Karen whilst I was employed by Jaguar in Coventry. Karen will be irreplacable, indeed her commitment and knowledge will be missed by the entire Jaguar community. A very sad day. Fraternaly and sincerey, John,Sue Scobbie. John Scobbie

Karen helped me with build certificates and questions of authenticity several times. Her personal attention was much appreciated. I am deeply shocked to learn of her passing. I am so sorry to hear the bad news and extend my deepest sympathy to you, her family. From Dr. Gerald A. Mitchell, Jr., Kingsport, Tennessee. Dr. Gerald A. Mitchell, Jr.

I regret once again that JCNA did not heap the official recognition upon Karen that she so much deserved. But as I read these first memories of her and the way she helped and encouraged so many of us, I see that these unofficial Thank-Yous are much more important. May we all pursue our lives as enthusiastically and generously as she did. Judy Ferring

Absolutely devastating news. JCNA and the Jaguar hobby has lost not one of the, but THE most dedicated, talented and enthusiastic supporter we have ever seen and are ever likely to see again. No trophy or award would ever be good enough for this pioneer. Thank you Karen, for everything. My only regret is that we did not get to work more together. My condolences to her husband, her family and many friends, to her great friend Mike Cook, and to the Empire Division. Daniel Thompson Daniel Thompson

Unfortunately, my only connection with Karen was through her reputation as being helpful and enthusiastic. She will long be remembered for her contributions and assistance to others. The Jaguar community is deeply indebted to her. Chuck Renner Jaguar Association of Greater St. Louis Jag-Lovers XJ List Admin Chuck Renner

To the family of Karen Miller In my mind -- and in my heart -- Karen Miller is as much part of the Jaguar experience as any of the immediately recognizable icons of the marquee. Just uttering the name Karen Miller immediately brought a commanding and knowledgeable authority to whatever was spoken next. Yes, Karen helped me, too ... as she did countless other enthusiasts. She helped because she cared enough to. She cared about the Jaguars but, moreso, she cared also about the people who shared her passion for these almost-living things. Sadly, the caring -- and love -- that she gave to her family is ended now, too, and the greatest loss regrettably is suffered by them. To all of Karen's family, I extend my sincerest and kindest condolences. Our prayers are with you and with Karen. Jeff (and Connie) Booth Oakville, Ontario Canada Jeff Booth

IM SORRY OUR LOSS LARRY MILES

Karen helped me a lot when I was a "''new" Jaguar owner. She helped me chase down serial numbers on my "E" type, and was instrumental in getting my JDHT squared away. She will be missed. LLoyd Nolan

While I never knew Karen personally, her name came up often on our e-type list anytime anyone had a question about the JDHT. I know that she was a tireless researcher who gave many hours of her time to a cause that she enjoyed. The entire Jaguar community was blessed by her presence. Our prayers go out to her family and friends. George Cohn List Admin e-type@jag-lovers.org George Cohn

I was deeply saddened to read of Karen's passing. She was always available and willing to walk a neophyte like me through the maze of JCNA. Through her works, she has touched us all and JCNA and the affiliated clubs are much better now because of her efforts. She will be missed by all of us. I am just sorry we did not know of her illness as I am sure we would all liked to have sent her notes of encouragement. Len Wheeler, Jaguar Club of Southern Arizona

I would like to offer my most sincere condolences on your loss. I was lucky enough to have dealt directly with Karen on two occasions, and I was so impressed by her helpful and kind spirit that I felt I had a friend at Jaguar. She will be missed by many. David J. Berman 200 Forest Avenue Swampscott, MA 01907 1994 XJ6 JCNA #26135 David Berman

Karen will be missed by many. Sometimes the business world and just daily life can be a grind and many of us go to our collector cars to find some joy amid the madness. Karen was always there when I was researching a car and her work and great attitude brought me joy on some otherwise rotten days. My prayers and sympathy are with you all. Most Sincerely George Potiris George Potiris

I was privileged to know Karen only briefly - through a few phone calls regarding a Heritage Certificate for my E-type. She impressed me immediately with her enthusiasm, knowledge of the cars, and she shared the fact that she and her husband owned two E-types, of which she spoke with great interest. I read her articles and submissions to the various publications with great interest, as she was universally respected in her area of expertise. The Jaguar community will miss her greatly. I am sure that your memories of her will sustain you at this time. Sincerely, Steven Davis Steven Davis

My most sincere condolences on your loss. I didn't know Karen personally but her name was always held in high regard in the Jaguar circles I travel in and I do a lot of that. She took the time to write me a personal note when I applied for my JDHT certificate. Above and beyond was my opinion of her. Paul Spurlock Paul Spurlock

The wonderful Karen Miller was an awesome force in our circles. What in the world will we do without her??? Having lost my dear husband quite recently, I can understand how empty you must feel as part of her family left behind. I wish you only happy memories of the good times, and the comfort of knowing she is still with you inside. When I get really low, sometimes driving my 71 E-Type helps. ;-) Thanks to Karen, I have it's beautiful framed "birth" (heritage) certificate on my garage wall. God bless and Godspeed, Karen. Thank you for being so giving. Your friend in central Florida, Ginger Corda

I was just checking the JCNA web site and was shocked to see Karens obituary. You can rest assured that she was held in the highest respect by all that came in contact with her. I will cherish the photo of the two of us taken at an AGM. She will be in my prayers. Jeremy (Jerry) Litz Jaguar Club of Ohio

Karen was someone special in both of our lives. We always enjoyed her company, there were so many times when her knowledge and enthusiasm showed the way. Karen will be sorely missed by us. Karen, Rest in Peace. Virginia and Fred Grieve UMW210@attglobal.net Virginia & Fred Grieve, JCNA members since 1975
