Not sure what to say?

Fond memories of my sweet cousin Karleen. She had a big heart for others And soo talented.

Karleen and her family were all friends in Snyder. I enjoyed our band days together. We well remember the pure sweet notes she played--so beautifully. My thoughts are with you, her family.

Karleen is one of the people we all will remember forever. We share your grief.
Marge Norton Wood, class of 1957

I have such fond memories of Karleen . . . the "big sister" to Camilla and I when we were so young. I always admired the girl and her horn. She was a very special person and I know she is missed greatly by her family and all those whose lives she touched.

Camilla...Just received word regarding Karleen. We both looked up to her and her musical talent. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Karleen was a member of our Snyder High School band and a wonderful trumpet player then. She also was a friend, both at church and at school. I always knew Karleen would be an outstanding musician as an adult, just as she was as a youth! She will be missed by so many!

What wonderful memories I have of Karlene. Being in the Snyder High School band and stage band with her was just great, and sitting beside her playing our trumpets was a learning experience for me, she was the best.
She was a loving friend to me and all of our school. She will be missed.

I cherish the fond memories of Karleen, her sweet smile, her love of music and her giving spirit. Our prayers are with you all in this great loss, but it sounds like she lived a very full and giving life. Burl and Janie Brock (cousins)

Thank You, Lord, for the life of Karleen Roberts. She was an inspiration to me. I was so proud of her accomplishments in music. When she played the trumpet solo standing in the middle of the field at a football game in high school, she was so good that chills would go up your arms to your head. I wanted to be a band director like her. I am so sorry for your loss.
