In memory of Karen Dyckson

If I could star in a film then I would like to be Marty Mcfly in Back to the Future. If they were to remake that classic film then Marty would be travelling back in 1993. I would want to be in that film not to change the past but to meet again Karen Dyckson. I feel very privileged to have spent 2 years with Karen at Swansea university getting to know her and it’s with great sadness I am travelling to her thanksgiving service today. Memories of events with Karen at university seem a long time ago and remembering specifics is difficult, however I do remember how she made me and all our friends feel - her wonderful friendship, caring, loving nature and just a great person to have a cider and black with and the university bar. Hearing last Saturday all the wonderful and amazing things that Karen went on to do as a wife, mother, daughter and friend to everyone in Canada didn’t surprise me and what a wonderful person and life she had. Rest in peace Karen - until we meet again.
