This is Lynne's blog today. On Friday morning, we learned that a beautiful young lady in our community had passed away suddenly in a car wreck. We had the privilege of knowing Karla this year because she was Andy's date for his senior prom. She was very athletic and excelled in everything that she put her mind to. She had a very sweet personality and a lot of spunk. I know that several times I observed her with her family and I knew that she was close to them all and loved so much. She will be missed greatly by all the students at Maypearl as well as those of us who knew her. I would ask that you pray for her family. I can only imagine what they are going through at this time. I was happy to learn from Andy that she was a Christian so I know that one day we will see her again. As her parents told the media, hug your children a little bit more than you normally do. Someone at church today reminded me that the dishes can wait, the house can stay messy, but the time with our children is fleeting. Spend more time with your kids and let them know you love them more than they know.

My daughter is on Karla's softball team, and she is new to the team, as is Karla. We had a college showcase Friday-Sunday in Beaumont this weekend. We had a team meeting on Friday at noon where we received the news about Karla's car accident. It was a terrible loss, and very hard for the girls (an parents). However, we knew Karla would want us to stay and play for her, which we did. The girls bought her favorite color ribbon (orange) to wear around their ponytails in her memory. The coaches tied a ribbon on the back of the ball caps, and the parents tied them on our purses or through a button hole as well. Before each game our girls always say a payers. Karla was mentioned each and every time, and they knew she was there in spirit. They will miss her very much! We were lucky to have known her, if only for a short time the team has been playing together the past 6-8 weeks or so.
well first of all it is very hard to lose a good friend like karla and she will be truly missed
Although i never knew Karla very well, we were on the cross country team together and she was a big part of the team. She was one of the best runners on the team and i always looked up to her and wanted to be a runner like her.
It was a big loss and the cross country team misses her and we could never replace her.
since she was apart of my favoright team i now have her initials on my letterman jacket.
we miss you "Big Girl"
KLF -FOREVER!
