English - "I watch you every day, I am always very near. I know deep in your heart, you realize I am here. I watch you while you sleep, in your bed at home. I hear you when you speak to me, when you are on your own. You cannot understand the reason why I’ve gone. But I will never leave you I am there to keep you strong. Talk to me, I hear you, though you may not see. We share an unbroken bond that will always be. Death will not keep us apart, for our love is forever. Just remember me in your heart, and one day we will be together. Live your life and live it fully, don’t waste a single day. Remember I am always with you every step of the way." ............................................................................................................................................. Espanol - "Te miro todos los días, siempre estoy muy cerca. Sé que en lo profundo de tu corazón te das cuenta de que estoy aquí. Te miro mientras duermes, en tu cama de casa. Te escucho cuando me hablas, cuando estás solo. No puedes entender la razón por la que me fui. Pero nunca te dejaré. Estoy ahí para mantenerte fuerte. Háblame, te escucho, aunque no lo veas. Compartimos un vínculo inquebrantable que siempre será. La muerte no nos separará, porque nuestro amor es para siempre. Sólo recuérdame en tu corazón y un día estaremos juntos. Vive tu vida y vívela plenamente, no desperdicies ni un solo día. Recuerda que siempre estoy contigo en cada paso del camino."

Karina had a deep love for animals as she adopted multiple dogs, a couple of hamsters, and several cats throughout her years. Karina left behind her favorite cat, Cardi, and her puppy, Nikki.

Karina loved spending time with her family and friends, but her favorite thing to do was to stay home and watch her tv shows. Karina was a fun spirited soul who took on many passions. One of which included drawing. She had an incredible artistic talent. She found comfort and peace in drawing and used it to express herself.

Karina had the biggest heart and the most beautiful smile. She cared so deeply for the people around her and her smile was so stunning it would light up the whole room. She was a private and quiet person, but also very entertaining and fun! She was fearless and independent, yet sensitive and incredibly compassionate. She loved the beach, vacations, traveling, art, cooking, her dogs, and her cats.

Karina did not show this to many people around her, but she was strong-willed and a very stubborn person, but those are the traits that defined her. They were part of who she was, and her strengths undoubtedly helped her deal with life’s challenges. She was a beautiful person inside and out.

All people die, but not all people live. Karina lived! She packed so much life into her thirty years. She traveled, she enjoyed life, chased her dreams, worked as a professional, fell in love. She did so with grace, dignity, integrity, and courage. Because of this she made an impact on many of our lives. She will forever be missed.

Karina Rodríguez, de 30 años, de San José, California, falleció el 9 de octubre de el 2022. Karina nació el 27 de Febrero de 1992, hija de Irma Magaña en San José, California. En el 2013, Karina conoció a su esposo, Javier Quiroz, y se casaron el 2 de octubre de el 2015. Ella dio a luz a tres hermosos niños; Nathan, Ethan y Christian. Estaba muy orgullosa de sus hijos y siempre se aseguraba de que stubieran bien en todo momento.

Karina tenía un profundo amor por los animales ya que adoptó varios perros, un par de hámsters y varios gatos a lo largo de sus años. Karina dejó atrás a su gata favorita, Cardi, y a su perrita, Nikki.

A Karina le encantaba pasar tiempo con su familia y amigos, pero lo que más le gustaba era quedarse en casa y ver sus programas de televisión. Karina era un alma divertida y de espíritu que asumió muchas pasiones. Una de las cuales incluía dibujar. Tenía un talento artístico increíble. Encontraba consuelo y paz en el dibujo y lo utilizó para expresarse.

Karina tenía el corazón más grande y la sonrisa más hermosa. Se preocupaba profundamente por las personas que la rodeaban y su sonrisa era tan deslumbrante que iluminaba toda la habitación. Era una persona reservada y tranquila, pero también muy entretenida y divertida. Era valiente e independiente, pero sensible e increíblemente compasiva. Amaba la playa, las vacaciones, viajar, el arte, la cocina, sus perros y sus gatos.

Karina no mostraba esto a muchas personas a su alrededor, pero era una persona de carácter fuerte y muy testaruda, pero esos son los rasgos que la definían. Eran parte de quién era ella y sus fortalezas sin duda la ayudaron a enfrentar los desafíos de la vida. Era una persona hermosa por dentro y por fuera.

Todas las personas mueren, pero no todas viven. ¡Karina vivió! Ella reunió tanta vida en sus cortos treinta años. Viajó, disfrutó mucho de la vida, persiguió sus sueños, trabajó como profesional, se enamoró. Lo hizo con gracia, dignidad, integridad y valentía. Por eso tuvo un impacto en muchas de nuestras vidas. La extrañaremos por siempre.
