Dear Dr. Karp, Once in a while in the miraculous journey called life, someone comes along, someone who just naturally makes everyone feel a little happier, a little more alive. You have been that someone to me. You’ve given me a new perspective on a lot of things, including myself. There are things you have said to me I’ll always remember and ways you’ve helped me I’ll never forget. Thanks for being the wonderful, exceptional person you are. You are an inspiration to me and I am very glad and grateful that you have come into my life. May God bless you tremendously! I only wish Damien (son) will grow up to be just like you! Love, Margaret Seepersad

Thank you for enriching our lives. We will always treasure you in our hearts! Belinda Rodriguez

Dear Dr. Karp: I’m glad way back then you recommended that Cristina go the end-of-year trip for your gifted students. And I’m even more delighted that I was able to be with you, the parents and the students on this trip…I had fun, lots of it…it also gave me a reason to write my own journal…albeit a “poetic journal!” Enclosed please find the poems written during that trip. Again, my heartfelt thanks for your work with Cristina this year. You’ve done a most excellent job and it shows! Sincerely, Mr. Liony Batista

Dr. Karp’s office is extremely responsive. Rebecca Carter

I had the honor and privilege of seeing your work firsthand while I represented Treasure Island Elementary School on Miami Beach's Quality of Education Committee a few years ago. I applaud your incredible commitment and dedication to our children. Your accomplishments are so admirable and your impact is great.  Having my son in public school was a completely new experience for me.  From the very first time I met you, you were warm and approachable. You made a HUGE school system feel welcoming and tight knit. It was not only tight knit, but well-run. Susan Stern

Dear Martin, I want to thank you with all the love a mother can muster!  Thank you for your understanding, kindness and assistance. Judy Judy Schaechter, M.D.

It is well appreciated. Name withheld

We spoke about honoring you at our annual Krop fundraiser, which is taking place Thursday, April 16, 2015.  I cannot think of a more appropriate person to honor.  You have helped many of the children who attend Krop throughout elementary and middle schools and now at Krop, too.  As the chair of this event, it would be great to be able to publically thank you for all that you have done for the children in northeast Dade County.  You have helped our children with all of your time and effort.  As PTA President at VABHOE I learned what a huge difference you made at our schools.  Please accept our offer to be honored at our event. Take care, Mindi Mindi U. Ratner
