  3. Karla! You are so dear to me. As a Senior Companion volunteer, you touched the lives of so many older adults in need at Pioneer Manor. Your legacy will live on there and in the hearts of all who loved you. What a treasure you were to this world and the Senior Companions program. I am a better person for having known you. You had so much love left to give. Gone too soon. You are missed.
