I never met Karley in person, but she touched the life of a niece of mine. I can tell by the accompanying photo, that Karley had a great intelligence in her eyes and her smile showed some spunk.I will pray for peace and comfort within her family.
"Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear." author unknown

Karley, you are a wonderful person. In my memories of you, you were always smiling or laughing and making me laugh too. You will never be gone; you are still Karley and that will never change. I hope you see everything you want to see. I hope you feel the way you want to feel and never anything else. You deserve to be happy and free. You will find yourself and do amazing things. I wish the best for you and your family.

Although I didn't know you personally I'm happy that I got a chance to know you at all. I am especially grateful that you came into my friend's life and calmed him down and centered him. Although I haven't had the chance to tell him and am well wishing that he reads this I find that you were not just plain luck that just happens to come across someone. You were a blessing in disguise. I appreciate the talks we all had on Facebook laughing and joking and to all family and friends I wish that thoughts and memories like that you all hold them close and cherish them. That is the best way to truly preserve your memory.

Hi. I am the mother of one of Karley's classmates at ROHS. Although my daughter didn't know your daughter personally, we wish to give you our support. As a mother, I don't want to imagine your pain, but I will most certainly keep your family and your dear Karley in my most fervent prayers. Please know that you have many people praying for you that you may never meet. God Bless You.
