Karla will be missed by all who knew her, but most of all by her family, including her young daughter, Lauren, her parents Dawn and Craig Bobo, and her brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and grandmother. The Senate's thoughts and prayers are with the Bobo family, as we celebrate Karla's life and memory.
