Karen/The Very Best Of Friends

Donna Barclay discovers the importance of faith when her best friend becomes desperately ill in "Karen."

A group of kids at Whit's End disclose the topic of the hour: Young, vivacious, outgoing Karen Crosby has cancer. It's in her leg bone, and it's spreading. Whit and Donna Barclay, Karen's best friend, are on their way to see her in the hospital. Donna is nervous before entering, but a quick prayer and encouragement from Whit see her through the visit.

Donna Barclay starts acting really strange for no apparant reason and it's up to Whit to find out what is bothering her in "The Very Best Of Friends."

Whit arranges to take Donna to the one place where she can let go of her bitterness-Karen's grave. At the cemetery, Whit makes Donna confront her anger by turning it over to God. The healing begins, and Donna is finally able to tell Karen "good-bye."
