Sister Karen predicted her murder and forgave her killer

Fifteen years before Sister Karen Klimczak was strangled by an ex-convict on Good Friday last year, the Buffalo nun wrote a letter of forgiveness to her killer.
She apparently had a premonition, perhaps during her prayers or a dream just before Holy Week in 1991, that her life would one day be taken violently.
Wednesday, as Craig M. Lynch -- convicted in December of her murder -- was about to be sentenced to 25 years to life behind bars, Sister Karen's sister and fellow nun, Sister Jean Klimczak, read the letter aloud to a packed, hushed courtroom.
" 'Dear Brother, I don't know what the circumstances are that will lead you to hurt me or destroy my physical body,' " Sister Jean read.
She found the letter while going through Sister Karen's peach-colored journal in which the slain nun had neatly handritten the letter.
"‚'No, I don't want it to happen,'‚" she read softly. "‚'I would much rather enjoy the beauties of this earth, experience the laughter, the fears and the tears of those I love so deeply!' "
But her letter of forgiveness did not sway Deputy District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III from asking Erie County Judge Sheila A. DiTullio to impose the maximum sentence -- 25 years to life in prison. "There's been talk of forgiveness," Sedita said. "But, judge, forgiveness is for God. Sentencing is for court."
