Some of her hobbies included Interior Decorating and floral arranging.  She was an excellent organizer and had extraordinary planning and administrative skills.  Karan also loved animals, taking long scenic drives, and singing.  She will always be remembered by her warm smile, gentle and kind heart, and bubbly laughter.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for blessing us with the gifted life of Karan.  May You make it known to her how much she was loved, appreciated, valued, and admired by so many of us.  Forgive where she may have fallen short and we ask for Your Hand of mercy and grace to comfort our hearts and minds during this time.  Help us to walk closer to Thee all the more each day.  In Jesus Name we pray,

AMEN
