Karla Jean Amundson Levin Turkish
July 5, 1959 - June 21, 2012
You were a mom, a daughter, a sister, a friend and wife
we cherished sharing in your happiness and strife
Laughter and tears were part of your day
but always a smile would find its way
Never a doubt the love you had for us all
Just wished you'd not felt so incredibly small
Your life was bold and beautiful too
your laughter infectious to all that you knew
We'll carry on knowing the peace you feel
while you now hold the hands of the ones who have healed
Walk strong dear Karla in God's bright garden
I will never forget you - my beautiful angel guardian

sharing our room until I was 12
mermaids dancing under the pool water from march to october, only leaving the water for 5 minutes at a time or else our tails would fall off
marco polo - jumping off the diving board - pool volleyball and lap races
playing secretary/boss, you were always the secretary
bike riding to new adventures and taking on tough hills
singing songs as we sat in front of the 'stereo', you knowing all the words
playing my guitar with you singing- puff then magic dragon, moon shadow, and if I had a hammer
chalk on the sidewalk - roller skating on the back patio - foursquare - tether ball
barbies, you always had the barbie and skipper doll, I had Mary Poppins because that was your rule....IF you would even allow me to play with you
paper dolls with kleenex boxes for beds
playing 'lets make a deal' with TV trays and prizes
halloween costumes, matching of course
camping and traveling down the river on inner tubes
hide and go seek outside in the summer until it was dark
babysitting the neighborhood children, we always did it together until you had a boyfriend :)
Just a few of the memories.....while we were growing up
