I had the pleasure of working with Karla for a short time. She was a sweet person, with a kind heart. She always asked about my family and told me about hers. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My deepest sympathies for you all. Karla was one of the strongest women I've met. She guided me many times through work and life struggles. I will miss her greatly and can tell you that her pride and love for her family was endless.
May you find peace and comfort!

During our 11 years together at Midwest Sheets, Karla has been in equal parts a great collaborator, mentor and friend to me. It was a privilege to know her. My heart goes out to Karla's family, and I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss her too.

I wanted to let Karla's family know how sorry I was to hear of her passing. I last saw her a few months ago in Atlanta. She told me she was battling cancer but I had no idea it was this serious. I always enjoyed talking with her when we would get together at various work functions and will miss seeing her at future events. I will keep your family in my prayers through this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear about Karla's passing and I want to send my most sincere sympathies. Karla was more than a coworker - she was always willing to help answer a question or just chit chat about life. One of her favorite topics were stories about her grandchildren. Karla will be dearly missed by everyone whose lives she touched. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My heartfelt condolences to Adam, his wife and children.... Karla was so proud of all of you, her mom, sister, brother and the rest of her family. Karla hired me at Midwest Sheets almost 10 years ago and was my supervisor as well as my friend. She was so strong, independent and amazingly smart, but she was also caring. She helped me so much when I had health issues and experienced a flood in my home a few years ago.. I will miss her a great deal. Thoughts and prayers will continue for the family.
