• I had the joy and privilege of working with Karla at St. Boniface. I remember one of my very first shifts I was working alongside her, nervous and unsure of myself and Karla met me with a big smile and a ton of enthusiasm and assured me I'd be fine, I just had to be confident in my abilities and lean on her if I needed her. From that shift on-wards, every time she saw me she took the time to smile and stop and ask how I was doing. She was such a bright light, her energy and passion for her job and her life were inspiring. I am so saddened by her loss and wish to extend heartfelt condolences to her family. Such a tragic loss. She will always be remembered. - Posted by: Jennifer (co-worker) on: Oct 30, 2014

• My heart breaks for the family and friends left to bear this weight. I worked with Karla for years at the Keg and was always inspired by the dedication she had for the things she loved.

• I met Karla in Pioneer Camp when we were about 12. I have lots of memories of her- camping at shoal lake, going out to her family's cabin in lake of the woods, sleepovers and getting into mischief. She was a close friend of mine at one point and although we hadn't spoken in a few years since I moved away, I will always have fond memories of her. My heart broke to hear the news- she had a wicked sense of humor and an infectious laugh to go with it and I know she will be sorely missed by many. My condolences to her family.. <3 - Posted by: Veronica (Friend) on: Oct 29, 2014

• I met Karla in Winnipeg when I moved there from Thunder Bay 8 years ago for school and we became friends. She was clever, witty and highly energetic. Haven't talked much after I moved back home but still remember the good times we had at parties and with other friends. Thoughts go out to her and the Ferens family. Sad to see her go so soon:( - Posted by: Joey (distant friend) on: Oct 29, 2014

• I met Karla in the gym, at first glance I noticed what amazing legs she had. I approached her only to find out we had competed together on the same stage the previous year. I related to Karla given both our sensitive pasts with our partners. After her mishap with her present partner I again approached her to offer support and let her know she wasn't alone. Karla and I always knew one day we'd meet on the stage again. I knew she was destined to win in her accomplishments with MABBA. She trained hard and strong with determination even after the fact. We often exchanged workout techniques, me being the veteren and her the up and rising. Our last show we exchanged best wishes to one and other and walked out on stage. She was young, confident, and funny to say the least. To young...to short...to soon. My prayers with her family and friends. - Posted by: LauraLee (Friend and competitor) on: Oct 28, 2014

May you rest in peace. - Posted by: Daneesha F (Lifelong friend) on: Oct 28, 2014

• Karla was an old friend of mine. Although it has been a few years since we last saw each other, I often thought about our days snowboarding at Big White and when we worked together for years at the Keg. Karla taught me how to snowboard and trained me at the Keg. She was very patient with me and a great teacher. She was always so much fun to be around and became a great friend. My love goes out to Karla and her family. - Posted by: Claire B. (Friend) on: Oct 28, 2014

I thought she had the most uplifting smile and could not get over how gorgeous she was. I told her that she had the most beautiful suit at Novice and we all got excited when she brought in a trophy. She will definitely be missed. - Posted by: Katrina () on: Oct 28, 2014
