Karin Daniell Rush Blankenship, 30 years of age, the wife of Butch Blakenship of London, Kentucky, departed this life on Sunday, June 6th, 2010, at the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky.
Karin was born in Laurel County, Kentucky on May 14th, 1980, daughter of James Calvin Rush and Hazel Faye Southard Rush. Karin was 32 weeks pregnant with twins and had two older boys at home. She also worked as a nurse at the St. Joseph Hospital in London, Kentucky. She woke up on Saturday, June 5th, 2010 with a terrible headache. She knew she was very sick but she just didn't know with what. Karin suffered from a severe infection that got into her nervous system.

She died on Sunday.

THIS IS A TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF KARIN,
I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an after glow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun
of happy memories
that I leave when my life is done.
