Karen Klimczak worked for years to stop violence and to help prisoners who were trying to re-enter society. However, ten years ago, one of the men she was trying to help, murdered her. Time Warner Cable News Reporter Sarah Blazonis shows us how the community and those who knew her, honored her legacy.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- It was a Sunday ritual: Jean Klimczak and her sister, Karen, would check in on each other with a phone call. Jean assumed the call that came on Easter Sunday 2006 would be no different.

"When I heard the phone, I thought it was Karen," said Sister Jean Klimczak. "I picked up the phone and I found out from my sister, Mary, that Karen was missing."

Ten years have passed since Sister Jean and the community learned of Sister Karen's murder.

"She created something that is so substantial for the whole community. It's called 'Non-Violence Begins With Me.' So, in all actuality, I wish to continue in her footsteps," said one man at a remembrance service Friday.

Many did contunie in Karen Klimczak's footsteps on Friday during a commemorative way of the cross, similar to the one Sister Karen walked on the day she died. Her efforts toward non-violence also continue through Peace Prints of Western New York, the organization she founded to help prisoners headed for parole.

However, her death brought lessons of its own. For instance, Sister Karen lived in the housing facility at the time of her death.

"We learned a lot from her passing and the tragedy that went with it. So at this point, we provide round-the-clock staffing at the facility, but we don't have anyone living at the house aside from the residents," said Cindi McEachon, executive director of Peace Prints of WNY.

Sister Karen's own words also left a lasting impact. Reflections from her journals were read during the stations, and Sister Jean said an entry she found during the killer's trial helped her through that difficult time. In it, Sister Karen forgave anyone who might commit an act of violence against her.

Sister Jean said she, too, has forgiven him.

"Forgiveness is very difficult," said Sister Jean. "It's a way of life. I'm challenged to forgive everyday."
