One always felt happy in Karma's presence. She was kind, non-judgmental, and seemed to always wear her beautiful smile. One could never say Craig without Karma. She will be missed dearly by all. May God's presence be with you Craig. What a loss you must feel! Gerald and June Allred

Oh, how I love my memories of being in the Belle Group with Karma. She was so lively and fun as well as talented. She had a ready laugh and was always warm and kind. I am so sorry that I am out of town and can't come to the funeral because I, like Greg and her family, just LOVE that darling friend, Karma. We will all miss her.!

Karma was a dear friend and inspiration to me. From the beginning she handled challenges on her terms and never asked "why me?" She was full of grace, beauty, tenacity and bravery. I will forever be grateful for her example in my life for her testimony shared by the way she lived. I am so thankful for the friendship of Karma and Craig.
With much love and sincerest condolences for her family-
Kristin
