DEAN, Karla Jean - (July 9, 1952 - December 23, 2020) -
Crafters talk about my mother bringing too much stock and food to shows or clothes to hotels. She did the same every time she came to our house, but especially at Christmas. She always spent too much on us. She was too generous. She liked to see people smile at whatever she gave them; her food, clothes, or her jewelry.
My mother was emotional about everything and everyone even if she never met the person. I believe she felt too much and her heart just gave out.
