Petra Sharm Karr

I am so sorry to hear this. Petra was such an inspiring classmate. It's been decades now but I remember how fun she was to work with and be around.

Miss you Petra. The world needs your power.

I just heard the news about Petra and am so shocked and saddened. Petra is the person who needed to live forever. Her spark was such a gift to our world. She was one of my idols. Her whole family. She is definitely an angel organizing shows in heaven and bringing joy to whomever she meets. My deepest condolences to all her loved ones. I know there is a giant hole in your lives. Much love, bobbi nodell

I went home from grade school one day and said , "Mom, there's a girl in my class named Petra, Isn't that a place that you said I should visit?"
This gal was an eccentric to me, her dad was a newspaper reporter, my parents read the paper, she was named after an ancient, historical and archaeological city, I thought that was so posh!

Thinking back, I remember what a bright spot in my young life Petra was!!!

I will always be grateful for the kindness she showed...

I considered Petra my lifelong best friend.
She did so much to draw this anxious extrovert out of my comfort zone and expand my horizons. She's been doing that, in MY life, since we were in 7th grade Spanish class together, then choir and drama and even ensembles! I loved her for that!
She was a very bright star and it was impossible not to be attracted toward that light.
She was also human, with human foibles, but love her or hate her she was always true to herself and her passion...

The world has lost a talented and beautiful woman. I had the pleasure of working with Petra and Chris at Creator Lutheran church. Petra started doing plays that drew young and old. So much fun and so many sweet memories. Rest In Peace, sweet friend. ♥
