I was blessed on May 12, 2008 to have met Karla Tesch. She and I met at a Look Good Feel Better program sponsored by the American Cancer Society. Karla and I had decided on the same chemo treatment. We spent many hours on the phone conversing about the side effects we were each enduring. Her biggest pet peeve...crooked wigs.
Karla and her husband are the most devout Christians I have ever met. I do believe she was placed into my life to help me find my spiritual side. Sometimes when you have nothing else to go on, you need to find faith. She was loving, funny and most of all, calming.
Karla's health took a turn over Christmas. She passed away on Monday afternoon. Her husband, Jack, spoke with me on Monday night. She went peacefully. It was their 39th wedding anniversary on Monday. Jack shared with me that every year they renew their wedding vows. She was able to find the strength to renew their vows during her last moments. Love and faith conquer all.
May you find peace and comfort from above. You will be missed.
