It’s always sad to acknowledge yet another dear classmate’s passing.  I don’t remember Karen attending reunions, although she may have, I just wish I may have known her bettter.

It is sad to learn of the death of another classmate.  I have a lot of good memories of Karen through the years.  She was always sweet and kind to me.  She had a strong faith in God and I know without a doubt that she is enjoying Heaven and seeing her loved ones who died in Christ.  May God comfort all of her loved ones and friends.

I was really sad to hear that Karen died on Sunday.  We used to be very close, but had lost touch some years ago after my mother died, and I did not make it back to Beaver Falls very often.  She was a wonderful and kind person, and was a very good friend.

Karen and I were friends in high school, and in our senior year she sat directly behind me in homeroom.  She was such a great friend and we shared many talks with each other. Always upbeat and with cheerful smiles no matter what the day!  We kept in touch for awhile after graduation but I moved around so often that we lost touch. But I've always thought of her and remember her with deep affection.

So sorry to hear of another classmate leaving us. Sincere thoughts and prayers for the family. In God's plan we will see each other again.
