This past week, beautiful soul was lost. Karlene was loved by so many. I met her in seventh grade when I moved to Flippin, and I had my first class with her. We shared 3 classes together at school this year. Our last memory was when she recorded me having a good time in our English class with some of my other close friends. I also had my last class with her. It was the last class she had and it was with me. That night, she was having such a good time at the basketball game and spent it with her closest friends. She took her life later that night. So many students and teachers are mourning the loss of her at school. Her family needs an unlimited amount of love and support at this time. Rest In Peace Karlene, you will be missed by so many. ♥ï¸â™¥ï¸ðŸ’•ðŸ’•ðŸ’™ðŸ’™ðŸ’šðŸ’š

Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one’s gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
For as long as there is memory,
They’ll live on in the heart.
God Bless You All
