They say actions speak louder than words, and we could always count on Karly's actions (and equally as much, her words- you all know what we're talking about). One thing we can all learn from Karly is her take-life-by-the-balls attitude and doing everything her way. But it was the thoughtfulness of her actions, the generosity of her heart, the gentleness of her spirit, and the smiles she put on our faces that we will remember the most in the time she graced us with her life.
Two nights ago, on September 1, 2016, the unimaginable happened; our beautiful sister was killed while riding her motorcycle. It was something she was passionate about and loved to do. When Karly left this earth, she was a strongly spirited 22 year-old. One who left us with immeasurable sadness over her loss, yet plenty of laughter from countless memories of, well...Karly being Karly. Her spirit isn't something which can be captured in words, and that's what makes this so difficult to do. Remember her passion for life and friendships she had. Her quick-witted one-liners and the back and forth banter. Not sure if he knows, but the man upstairs has his hands full with her. He needed a new angel who has a strong but caring personality, and he certainly got a GOOD one.
It's in this difficult time we humbly ask for your help. With a shortcoming of life come unexpected expenses. On behalf of all of her siblings, we kindly ask for support to help our parents through something no parent should ever have to do- incur the final expenses of their child. But more importantly, as a community of all who loved her, help us celebrate her life. Left over funds will be donated in Karly's memory.
Always and forever in our hearts.
