I am so sorry to hear about your mom. She was such a great lady, we had a lot of fun times with her after she retired from Safeway. She was so proud of her kids, and loved those grandkids. I ran into your mom at Co-op not too long ago, so glad I did. REST IN PEACE...until we meet again. Love and sympathy to the Pierre family.

Having worked with Karla side by side for a long time, it is hard to believe that she is gone. We enjoyed alot of laughs and even a concert and horse show together. You will be missed at our "retired girls" luncheons. You touched many lives, we will all remember what a hard worker you were(and the fun times we had).

I miss Karla every time I walk into our Kingdom Hall, she always sat last row on left aisle. We'd wave and sometimes stick our tongues out at each other......We laughed, and Karla's laughter is truly missed. I admire her strength, and her fight for her faith. Looking forward to seeing her in paradise and we can laugh together again.

What I will remember about Karla was her willingness to go out of her way help others. She really cared about people and she could always make me laugh. Yes, indeed she will be missed.
