So sad to hear this news of Carla. I hadn't seen her or George since their wedding and had recently wondered what had become of them. It's good to see that, even with the tragedy of her passing, they enjoyed a full and loving life together. Though she will be greatly missed she is indeed whole, at peace and at home with our Lord. I offer my condolences to George and the boys and hope you can find peace and rest during this difficult time.

George, Evan, Zack and Jeanette,
My heart goes out to each of you during the time of your loss. I was glad that I had the opportunity to visit with Carla when I was in town for my father's funeral earlier this month. We shared many memories and laughs as I let her know how special she was to me. She will be missed. I'll keep each of you in my thoughts!
Lots of love,
Michael Martin

My heart is so very sad for Carla's family and friends. I worked with her at Helen Ross McNabb. She was one of the sweetest and most caring person. She had such a love for the children that she cared for. Such a blessing and comfort to know that she is well and with our Lord. Prayers for her family. May God hold you all close and comfort your hearts with wonderful memories and fun times that you shared with her until you are reunited one day.
