| Chandra M. (Karren) Beard 1/19/1973 - 1/2/2006 - R I P - |
Chandra and I met when She was only fifteen in 1987. As we entered our twenties we became even better friends then we ever were as a couple. I moved away from Salt Lake City in 1999, and unfortunately I have not been able to see Chandra in over six years now. My pictures are even older, but not a week goes by when she is not in my thoughts. She was most definitely a "one of a kind". She had an infectious smile and laugh. She displayed a surreptitiously deviate nature masking an authentically kind and loving soul. She loved children so very much, always the first to help out with all of our friends that had become young parents. I have no doubt her children will all turn out magnificently beautiful, and will carry on the very best qualities and traits of their parents. My deepest sympathies and condolences to Lynda, Guy, Broch, Molly and Claude. You were all like family to me for a short time of my life that I will always cherish, and carry close to my heart. Thank you. I love you my friend... I miss you... I hope to see you again... T. |

I found a photo of Chandra I had shot at the Ritz club, this must have been the spring of 1993. She blinked, but she is still very lovely. Deepest sympathy, Jeff Carlisle |

| Chandra is so wonderful I can't say all the great things there are about her. I was always happy and laughing when I was with her, and I will always feel that joy when I think of her. I have posted some pictures I have of her on my Live Journal. My username is Alanja, feel free to view or copy the pictures I have. For those living in or visiting Salt Lake we are planning a memorial for Chandra so all her friends can attend. It will be at my house on Saturday January 28th. Please post a comment in my Live Journal if you would like directions. alanja.livejournal.com/ The memorial for Chandra last night was beautiful. I think she got the amazing send off she deserved by her friends. Thanks to everyone who came to remember her and those who were there in spirit. -Happy Birthday Chandra- there in spirit. Happy Birthday Chandra |
| Chandra was like a sister to me. We were so close that we would bathe together and wash each others' hair. We were so close that other friends of ours actually thought we were a couple. She had her issues and she of all people made me learn to accept my friends as they are regardless of what their issues may be. I coined the phrase, "It's not necessarily a bad thing it's just their thing" after dealing with the ups and downs of being Chandra's friend for quite a few years. I left SLC in '96 in search of more but, Chandra was always there to be the first to greet me when I did come home for brief spurts. Always true, honest and unmistakably Chandra. I will always love her and will never forget the times we had together. Llydia |

| This is a beautiful site & has brought tears to my eyes, looking at Chandra's beauty & thinking of her sharp wit. Mandy Amanda J. Mitchell |
| Hello Everybody... I, personally, hadn't seen or spoken to Chandra in over 10 years so this was a nice way for me to look back and conjure up some of the fond memories I had of her... Take care, Budgie |
| It's sad that it took the death of someone to reunite so many people. In the last week I have heard from more people from my past than I was sure I knew. I wish Chan had known that she was that important to so many. Em. |
