My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. Karna was an influential person to me in my teenage years. She was a friend of my mothers when she lived in Alameda Ca. I often thought of her and smile of good memories of her and her little dog Wiggles.

I will never forget our years of attending the Madrid City wide garage sales. We always found good bargains shopping for the grandkids. At noon we'd go back to my house for maid rites. It was so much fun! Each fall for years we stood in line to be the early birds at the annual Madrid Library book sale. Because of her I am a Dean Koontz fanatic.
Karna was the kindest person I know - always putting others ahead of herself, & so generous.
She was a good friend, an angel on earth & now an angel in heaven. My heart goes out to all of you for your loss - may you take comfort in your memories.

I was shocked to hear about the passing of Karna. Her and I use to take Sammy and Michelle to campfire girls camp. She was a very nice person.
