Not sure what to say?

I was a fellow English major along with Karan. I was also a second rate football player much to the consterantion of Ara. Karan was an elegant and lovely young lady, sensitive and smart.

I also attended John Adams High School and went to Notre Dame a couple of years ahead of Karan. I am deeply sorrowed to learn of her death but amazed at the long and productive life she had, overcoming such extraordinary obstacles.

I feel I knew Karan by my knowing her Mom and Dad, Katie and Ara. In the midst of sorrow, they must remember the joy Karan brought them and all who knew her. They remain in our thoughts as always.

Busy with my life, I let friends drift from my life and, now at the end, try to find all those roads they traveled down. Karan was a great friend and I will always remember the Dudes and Dudettes, your mom's world famous cheese cake, your father's charisma and your kindness.

We have just learned of Karan's passing & wish to extend our heartfelt sympathy to your family at this time. We will keep her in our prayers. Margaret and Wally Moore

We truly cannot express the true depth of our sorry over Karan's loss -- we know
she is with God but we know the deep
sorry of not having your cherished
love with you. We are keeping you
in our heart and prayers -- may God
bless you with his Love in making you
strong during these very sad days.

We love you so very much!

To Karan's family and many friends,
Karan has been in my thoughts for many years. I attended JAHS with her and although I didn't know her well, I do remember well how kind she was, truly beautiful inside and out. The outpouring of love and respect from our classmates on FB, as well as the beautifully written obituary, confirmed what I always suspected, that her disease only strengthened her inner beauty. I loved reading how she stayed a 'step ahead' of her boys while seated:) Karan's...

Katie, Ara, and Family,
Our love and prayers are with you all during this sad and difficult time. May many wonderful and precious memories speed peace to your hearts. Jim and Sandy Brown (Granger, IN)

Jim, Sorry to hear of your wife, Karan's, passing. I met her at our class reunions.
Our prayers are with you and your family. May God grant you strength and love to ease the sadness of her passing.
