I will miss you!
Thank you Karen for all of your love and care over the years. You were a magnificent, thoughtful and wise doctor and amazing friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Robert.
I would like to express my deepest sympathy to family and friends. May all of your good memories be greater than your sadness during this difficult time. (Isaiah 25:8)

I loved being in Dr. Gajda’s presence. She was friendly, grounded, and calming. She couldn’t help but share her clinical pearls with us at Biobasics. I will miss her light.
Karen, you are a shouting whisper of holy light and love! Thank you! Robert, thank you for bringing Karen and being beside her! Peace and all good!
Everyone I knew who met Karen, loved her. I will miss her tremendously.
Dr. Gajda touched our lives and our children’s. Can not believe she isn’t around anymore. She was genuinely gifted and sincerely cared about everyone who seeked her help. She has left behind a void that can will not be filled. Our hearts are broken today after hearing this news. Seems she will still be around watching over all of us. Until we meet again, we will miss her tremendously.
Thank you Karen for your boundless enthusiasm and loving presence. Your keen bright ability to share Osteopathic thought and light up students will always shine with me and all you guided and inspired.
May the deep bright ocean of your love bring comfort and ease to Robert and all who love you.
You were a friend, mentor, colleague. I learned medicine from you. I carry your information with me every time I am with students and patients.
My heart is with Bob and all the people whose lives you have touched near and far.
To the DO and Cranial Community I am hoping you find a way to write about her.

From the Deep South, in the South Island of New Zealand, I send deep sympathy and salutations to Karen’s family. Her teachings on metabolic motion as laid out by Eric Blechschmidt, which informs our working lives, continue to inspire me. Aroha nui, dear Karen–sleep well
From the deep South, in the South Island of New Zealand, I send “AROHA” and salutations to Karen’s family. Her teachings on the metabolic motion to which we pay attention daily in our practices, expressed such an honesty and courage—and such great clarity. I will continue to defer to her spirit in my work. With gratitude, Evelyn Skinner DO
Dear Karen I know you are still with us and will ever be…… because you left such magnificent courage and love for osteopathy

Dr Gajda came into my life after a bad car accident. She was literally the best doc I ever had and we were able to explore some alternative care together which delighted us both. Had I not moved from the area she would have remained my doc for life. I’m very sorry to hear of her untimely passing. Condolences to Bob who she spoke of often. I’m sure Teddy and Lady are happy to see her. Love to you Karen, my friend and healer.
My Dear Karen,
You are one of the most unique, courageous, and loving voices that I have ever known.
I see your mischievous, conspiratorial smile as you approach me across the room to share some new wonder that you have been led to discover by your insatiable curiosity and have easily captured with your incisive mind.
I feel so blessed to have been welcomed as a friend by you and to carry your beautiful embryonic presence dearly in my Heart. And, if you have anything else to teach me, I am always listening…
With gratitude for your love and friendship, d
My Dear Karen,
You are one of the most unique, courageous, and loving voices that I have ever known.
I see your mischievous, conspiratorial smile as you approach me across the room to share some new wonder that you have been led to discover by your insatiable curiosity and passion to discover nature’s truths. And, of course, these principles were always easily captured once you turned the light of your incisive mind upon them.
Most of all, I will miss your loving presence, within whose embrace, I always felt unconditionally loved.
I feel so blessed to have been welcomed as a friend by you and to carry your beautiful embryonic presence dearly in my Heart. And, if you have anything else to teach me, I am always listening…
With gratitude for your love and friendship, d
