I have met many wonderful people in my life, but there are those who stand out, those whose God’s love shines through. Karnel was one of them! We taught 8th grade together, and later she and Bill bought our house on 61. I was so overjoyed when they were able to fill that house with the two children they had longed for all these years. I have been taught not to question God’s will, but sometimes it is so hard to understand. All week I have been kind of bitter thinking that she was another one of God’s “shooting stars” who leaves us too soon. That is not the case – she is one of God’s shining stars, and her light will long be remembered here on earth, and forever in heaven. To her family, God promises comfort to those who grieve, and please know there are so many people praying that you receive the peace and the strength you need to carry you through these dark days.
