I would like to say thank you to beautiful person inside and out. At one point in time...Karlean and I were inseperable. She brought me to life and inspired me to regain my self securities. My heart goes out to her 3 beautiful children and her amazing parents. I'm so sorry Karlean for the way we drifted apart but you will always be near and dear to my heart.

So sad this happened. I was just sharing stories about Karlean and my friendship to my teenage step-daughter because she and her friends remind me of things Karlean and I did at their age. I haven't seen Karlean in many years, but I did have the pleasure of connecting with her a few years ago via FB. My sympathy and love to Karlean's children, Karen and Edgar, as well as her Family and Friends. May you draw close to God during this sad time. James 4:8.
