you'll always be forever remembered by the whole world....and will be a part of many hearts.

Our Prayers go to the Family and friends... May you find strength and courage to get through these terrible moments. Karissa, we have not met but through the pictures posted everywhere... Although our hearts still hurt knowing that you have gone... Where you are now, no one can hurt you as you are under God's wing. You can rest in Peace little Angel...

I could only look at the teddy bear that I had placed where you have been found. All I could do was stare at the ground and wonder....why?. It brought tears among tears. When I oooked up into the beautiful blue sky, all I could imagine was this little angel. I was heatbroken, confused, and wondering why. You are safe without no pain, who ever done this has nothing to gain. As you go through the gates of heaven, don't shed a tear because your in a special place that you don't have to fear.

i did not know karissa but my heart breaks for this beautiful little girl.i've cryed many tears since hearing about this tragedy along with thousands of others who didn't know this sweet child.she's safe now,rest in peace angel

I placed a bear where you were found,brought a **TEAR** to my eye when i placed it on the ground,I wrote you a little message in your memory among me to remember.Where ever you are open your wings and fly when you look down just remember this wasn't your fault,so it's no need to cry,rest in peace,and now you are safe...

Rest In Peace Karissa. You have touched the lives of many.

Rest In Peace Karissa Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am in a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush Of beautiful birds in circling flight, I am the starshine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room. I am in the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I do not die.

Rest in peace sweet angel. You will never know how much you have brought a community together.

R.I.P Karisssa I hope who ever did take you away from the people who did love and care about you get cought soon.. It breaks my heart to think that someone so young was takin away.. ur story touced me, and knowing that this childs mother and bf could be the ones that did this makes me sick... wat kind of mother could do such a thing.. karissa ur in a much safer place now.. watchin over everyone.. its just sad that u couldnt enjoy being a kid for alot longer.. ur missed by everyone even missed by people who didnt know u, missed by people who just learned about you because of ur death..its a sick world and i hope u rest in god arms and far away from all the pain u went through..

When i first heard Karissa's story i thought to myself " Oh she probably just had a little tiff with her mom and she will show up within a few hours...well that never happened...and even though i hoped for the best outcome i was prepared when a body was discovered..I said well maybe she slipped and fell into the river. That alone was tragic to think about...BUT when i heard the word "Homicide" my heart sank. With your pretty smile and kind eyes you captured my heart Karissa and i will never forget you and I hope you are in a better place. I have a girl not much older than you and my world would come to an end if I lost her...because of you i will hold my family more close to me...thank you for that Karissa..Rest sweet Angel...

Although I didn't know you Karissa you have so touched my heart and the hearts of millions. Your life was cut way too short baby girl and justice will be served for you. Rest now dolly...you are in good hands. Much Love. You will always be in my thoughts. Sherry *ღ.♥.¸¸.·*ღ*♥

I did not know Karissa but I have a 12 year old daughter of mine own who is my world. I only hope Karissa felt that kind of love in her short life. May you rest in peace sweetheart

You are such a beautiful girl... May you rest in peace and know that so many people have prayed for you! Thousands of people cry for you.

I didn't know you, but this is still very sad to me. Only you will know what truly happened that day. May you Rest In Peace.

"i didn't know you Karissa, but i was really sad when i heard that it was you. If she was murdered, hopefully they find the person. R.I.P Karissa Boudreau....."

I didn't know Karissa, but I feel really bad. If she was murdered, shame on the one who did it. R.I.P. Karissa Boudreau.

Karissa - what a beautiful girl. May you rest in peace. I didn't know you or your family but followed you story and was deeply saddened by it. This should never have happened to you but you will no longer know pain and you are now in a safe place.

Such a special child, now with Jesus, no more pain or sorrow only joy and peace. Karissa has touched many hearts through this tragedy. My prayers for the family, friends, and all who have been touched by this sorrowful time. May the Lord reveal who is responsible, and let His will be done. God bless, deepest sympathies at this time....

I am so very sorry for the loss of Karissa. Such a beautiful little girl, with those beautiful big eyes and wonderful smile. A precious light has gone out. May you rest in peace and know that many people care about you.

May God grant peace to her soul & rest her in heaven. She is Angel who will always remain alive in our hearts

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, and can only imagine the pain your family feels at this time. I am praying for you...May God bless you with many to help you in this time.

thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

As an Ontario father of 12 and 10 year old daughters, I can't imagine the grief the family feels, although I feel sick thinking of something like this happening to one of my daughers. I am very saddened that once again our world has taken away the life of a young innocent person needlessly. Our hearts and prayers go out to Karissa's family and friends and hope they can find peace eventually.

may you rest in peace now karissa, youre ina place where pain doesnt exhist anymore, alot of ppl love and will miss you dearly...you did not deserve to have your life cut short.....you have touched so many lives and hearts....and Penny, I couldnt even imagine being in your place right now...I dont know your daughter but I definately cryy for her and you and your whole family..please try and hang in there...she still needs you. I'm so sorry for your loss. *hugs*

I am sorry for your loss. I didn't know her but it sure shocked the whole country.

You touched so many hearts Karissa....and we will never forget you. Your life was cut too short and if there is any justice in this world...those responsible will be caught and locked away. Such a cruel sick thing to happen to such a beautiful sweet little girl. You are with God now...rest in peace little one.

Hi Karissa I look at you and see a very very pretty girl one that didnt need this I hope and pray that they find your killer ... I think we all know who it is but hate to think who it could be that person !! may god have mercy on there soles ... love you little princess

my condolences for Karissa's family and friends. I can't imagine who would do this to anyone, much less a young child. My newphew is a 12 year old boy from Bridgewater and my heart breaks to think that something so terrible has happenend so close to home. Rest in peace Karissa.

I never new karissa, i live in lethbridge alberta, i seen her story on facebook though and once wrote on the wall when it was open (nothing bud, jus support) i am so sorry for your loss, i myself am a mother of 2 and i can only imagine the pain you are feeling right now. we were all hoping and praying that she would come back ok. have no regrets, she knew you loved her, she knew you never intended for anything bad to happen to her. this is not your fault. you could never have known that going into a grocery store for 10 minutes would lead to this. karissa was beautiful and she will be missed far and wide by all of us who knew of her and her story. she is in the hands of god now, and he and all the angels are keeping her safe, she is looking down on you smiling because she is happy and knows one day you will meet again. although probably sad that you are sad. remember the good times, and remember she is always with you in your heart and memories. she is now your guardian angel. your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers alwas and forever now. i hope you are able to heal from this and find closure somewhere down the road. and always keep this beautiful daughter close to your heart. cry when needed, laugh when you remember a special moment and dont ever feel guilty to be happy at any moment in your life, karissa would have wanted you to be happy not sad. Love people who will always keep you, karissa and your whole family in their heart. Mindy, Shawn Bryson Landyn

My heart goes out to the family and friends of this beautiful little girl.I prayed for Karissa every day and will continue to do so.R.I.P.Angel girl,xo

From all the People that love you in Shelburne.co Nova.Scotia We love you and will miss you dearly .R.I.P our little Angle

I have followed this closely from the beginning and it saddens me deeply to hear that Karissa's life was taken from her so young. I have a 12 yr old daughter and to think that someone took the life of this innocent child sickens me. I hope the cold hearted, miserable person that did this rots in hell! RIP baby girl... you'll make a beautiful Angel!

A Nova Scotia town's worst fears came true Thursday when police declared 12-year-old Karissa Boudreau's death a murder. The news came after more than two weeks of worry over the fate of the missing Grade 6 student, and five days after her body was found.

So many mixed feelings... Sadness, Regret, Anger... Today, our world took another hit. A hit that vener should of been... Today, another innocent child has been layed to rest... So many have passed away already... We have cried many times before, but we have done nothing... We have found ways to reach the stars and conquer the seas but yet, Today, another child has suffered and died from the hands of man... We have evolved ??? I think : ''We, Humanity, still have much to learn''. Karissa, please forgive us (Human kind) and guide us out of our stupidity and into the path of love and acceptance... Where no other child has to suffer... May you rest in Peace Little Angel...
