Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. May the Lord Blessings be upon each and every family member and friends in this time of lost.

May God comfort the family during this time.

Deepest Sympathy for the Burn's Family and Friends. Karla's spirit was so bright. So grateful she pursued her dreams...we were all fortunate to have shared and enjoyed her wonderful talent. A woman with a good heart.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May God strengthen the family at this time of sorrow.

I had the great pleasure of knowing and working with Karla in Wichita. Not only was she a marvellous actress and singer, but also a warm, wonderful human being with a great sense of humor. I literally was on the ground with laughter at a post performance party at one of her jokes.

In loving memory...

What a beautiful life she lived. I’m so very sorry for your loss. She called or came in the library every once in awhile. She was always so sweet. She will be missed dearly.

I am so sorry about the loss of Karla. She put the A on Awesome and will be missed! My condolences are with the Burns family. I pray that you will be surrounded by the love & support that you need. And may "the God who supplies endurance and comfort" (Roman's 15:5) be with you always.

An incredibly talented and entertaining performer who will be missed by so many. To the Burns family and friends, my condolences, may God be with you all at such a very difficult time.
