I met Karla at my Christian school back in 1983. She was hilarious and taught us cheerleading moves that had us rolling. She laughed that they made us where spilt skirts b. Went with it. Her dad was a long time friend of my father Gene Foust. She had a boyfriend who had a car that was set on fire and we lived hearing their crazy funny relationship. She took me in as a friend and always had a smile on her face. I remember her having huge feet and trying to fit into my size 8 heels for a banquet. Rest in peace and hopefully we can do a cheer up in heaven one day!
