I miss you. I think of you all the time.
November 18, 2012
I put away some of your things today. Honestly Carla, how much blistex does one really need? I am going to put out a small Christmas tree on your grave this week. I know how much you love Christmas. It will have as many red ornaments as it will hold. I know you will be there with me as I decorate it. Your on line guest book is about to end so I am going to print it and put the entries in my Bible, you were loved so much, and still are. I miss you so much, every day I miss you. I love you Carla. Forever my big sis.

Carlie, I am praying for you and your father that God will comfort you during this time. Your mom was always so kind and always inviting me to come to her house for Bible studies. I am a better person for knowing her and never realized how many people lives she touched. She will truly be missed by me and all who knew her.

Carla had an indescribable beauty - on the outside with the glow of her smile, and on the inside with the love of Jesus. She always was concerned with others. I will miss her so much. Our prayers are with the family.

There are no words to express the loss of Carla will be to all of the lives she touched. She was the greatest example of what a Christian woman is. Her smile just shined Jesus! Heaven must of needed another Angel. Prayers for you Earnie, Carley and all of Carla's family and friends. We all will miss you Sweet Angel Carla.

Carla was the most precious Christian woman that I have ever met. We met at church and she went through the sickness and death of my 3 year old daughter "Alexandria". Carla always said the most precious prayers. Just being near her made you feel closer to God. I don't think I will ever meet a more Godly woman. Now she can take care of my daughter until I get ti Heaven. Earnie and Carley you and all of Carla's family will be in my prayers. God just got another Angel on October 22. Carla, we love you and we will all miss you!!! Beth Kissell Keene
Happy times with Carla and her Bible study girls.

To the Johnston family, I didn't know Carla as well as I wish, but my son went to school with Carly. The times I did spend with her, she was a truly gracious, sweet spirited Christian woman. Carly and family, Chris and I are praying for you all for God's peace through this very difficult time. God had a special plan and reason for bringing her to her heavenly home. May God bless your family in this time of sorrow.

Carla was genuine. She was compassionate. Her infectious smile was the first thing you noticed. You soon realized after talking to Carla that she loved life, even when life got the best of her. Our friendship grew as our daughters grew. The Zoo,Starbucks and Cracker Barrel became regular hangouts. Endless birthday parties, the first to arrive the last to leave. Conversations about everything! What the world has lost, is heavens gain. Carla will and always be a true and dear mother, friend and servant of our Savior.

My friend Carla was genuine. She was compassionate. Her infectious smile was the first thing you noticed. You quickly realized when you were with her, she loved life even when life got the best of her. Our friendship grew as our daughters grew. The Zoo, Cracker Barrel and Starbucks became regular hangouts. Endless birthday parties. The first to arrive the last to leave. What the world has lost by losing Carla, is heaven's gain. I will miss our endless conversations about everything! Carla was and always will be a dear and precious mother,friend and servant of our Saviour.

Ernest,
Lisa and I are so very sad for your loss. Anxiety and depression are tools of darkness robbing us of the joy in our Lord and life itself. I know my years of depression were very damaging and I begged God for renewal and peace. Ernest please do remember the peace of God at this time. He loves you so very much. He cares for you. You are not alone. Saints are praying for you around the world. Fall into His everlasting arms and rest awhile in His care.

My dear Carla the last 72 hours have been undescrible for many of your family and friends. I can not put into words the feelings I have. I love you! I just keep thinking "why". I know God has a plan and we are not to question that. We were not ready for you to go be with your sweet Jesus. I will try to find comfort knowing that you are in his arms. We hold you close to our hearts, you are missed and loved. Love you always and forever, until we meet again.

Carla left the fragrance of Jesus and of the joy of the Lord wherever she went. I'm so glad for the time I got to spend with her and will really miss her when "we girls" get together. I know she is happily in the presence of Jesus!

The moment I first met Carla, I knew she was a Christian. She had an incredible love and compassion for others, especially children and those that were hurting. She loved Jesus most of all and shared His love with all she met. We all have a story to tell about the first time we met Carla and the wonderful things she did to bless our lives. I miss my sweet friend so very much, but I am thankful for the the time God shared Carla with us on earth. We will never know how many lives she touched until we get to Heaven.

My sweet, sweet Carla, you were more than a friend, you were a sweet word spoken into my life. A word of encouragement that I was doing just fine and a shared laugh or smile. You touched me deeply, you touched my family, you touched my friends that hardly knew you.To say I miss you will never be adequate.
