I know that I’m writing this almost a decade after Karlee’s passing. Karlee and I danced together for years at Lorraine Evans School of Dance in Cupertino. We had the biggest rivalry as we both loved dance and would try to top the other. Karlee and I became very close. When the school closed, I moved away and we lost touch. I spent time looking for her over the years to reconnect. I never had any luck. One day, out of nowhere, I remembered how to spell her first name and that her middle initial was D. I already knew her maiden name, Hopkins. I immediately looked her up and found her! I was so excited to call her and talk to her. I couldn’t believe what I saw on Facebook about her passing. I finally found her after all these years, but it was too late. I found out a few years ago, but I still find myself wanting to say just how much she meant to me. I think about her still. I think she must have known that and found a way to let me know she is at peace with God. I loved Karlee dearly and I will always miss her. I’m so sorry for her beautiful families loss. I’m so very fortunate and grateful to have known her.
