Dear Family of Carla:
What a shock to hear this morning of Carla's passing. She and I shared birthday's that were one day apart and we were perpetually turning 30 years of age. Carla was such a kind woman, loved her grandchildren (something else we had in common) and loved her daughters. I am just speechless at this news.

Please know that Carla was thought of highly at work. I had the pleasure of working with her for several years. Her smile will certainly be missed.

May you find peace during this difficult time.
