While growing up on 24th & Adams in or very early days, Carla & her Mom were my neighbors. Carla was like a sister to me & everyone on our block were very close in those days. Carla was a wonderful friend with a sweet smile and soft spoken voice and always nice. A wonderful person indeed. We attended Lincoln University. I was a freshman and she was a senior. Carla will never be forgotten. God bless her and her family and may she rest in peace.

Sincerely
Linda Lane-Nash & Family
