• My employment started by meeting Nancy and few weeks later I met Karla. Karla was always a very pleasant person to provide guidance for me as a new employee. She was a wonderful person and sincerely helped me in my new position. In every culture there is a saying, “Only the Good die young”. This is true because their goodness, love and compassion have completed their wonderful journey of life that can only be experienced in their cherished memories until the end of time. My deepest of sympathies to Karla’s Family, for the tragic loss of their dearest Karla. May our Prayer provide you strength through this very difficult time. Please let me extend my Condolences to both Steve and Karla’s Family and Dear Friends. God Bless. - Posted by: Sukhi Chana (Colleague in Toronto) on: Jan 15, 2014
