Words from Classmates and Friends
Karen's Passing was a surprise to me. I don't think she had any idea at the class reunion or if she did she kept it from us. I was so happy to be able to sit and talk to her at the reunion. We talked about her retiring and I think she was looking forward to it! More than that I am excited that we got the reunion together and got to see so many OLD classmates. Too bad we could not get everyone to come, Those who did not come missed a great opportuity to see other classmates. Keeping in touch with each other is so much fun.

"Sorry to hear about Karen Lamping. So, very glad I came to our last reunion. She and I went to Lincoln together. We used to walk home together. She was a gentle spirit. God bless her memory!"

It was really a surprise to me to hear about Karen. We were to have a visit at the reunion and enjoyed each other in the visit. Want to thank everyone who made the reunion a reality for us. It was wonderful to see everyone.

I was so saddened to hear of Karen's passing. So, happy we had a short time to chat at our 45th reunion. I was able to have a delightful lunch with her and several other classmates during the reunion. She never mentioned she had cancer. I went to Lincoln school with her and she was a good friend during my school years. She will be missed.
