Carla Santamaria

I met Carla through a dear friend close to 20 years ago. My son and her daughter Ella are 3 weeks apart and spent a great deal of time together when they were little. Carla and I shared many stages of parenting together. She will be missed for so many qualities. Wishing to nothing but peace Carla.

I was so saddened to read of Carla and hope she may now be in peace. Candace Herpich (Pacholski)

Carla was my physical therapist a year ago. She was a wonderful therapist and a warm, caring person. May her memory always be a blessing. Sincere condolences to the family.

When we were young,I knew Carla when she lived on Torringford St. and I lived on Gaylord Lane in Torrington, Ct. We always enjoyed our time together. So sad to hear of her passing. With deepest condolences, Carla Della Donna Plummer

In early March, I became Carla's client at the NW Rehab facility. I would like to share my thoughts about Carla with her family and friends. During my very first visit, I felt a sense of comfort and trust that Carla was going to help me recover from recent surgery. I saw her twice a week until her passing and each time felt she was taking me forward toward full recovery. Carla always brought caring and professional understanding to me of what I needed to to do to move forward in the recovery...

Although I worked with Carla for two years, she was a beautiful woman inside and out. A caring person to her patients, colleagues and friends, and a loving mother to Ella. Carla, wherever you may be, you are greatly missed and loved! Be at peace, my friend!

I knew Carla for only a few years when we were still in elementary school; although I will never forget the sleepover at her home. I thought she had the most creative and whimsical bedroom. We giggled a lot that night, much to her sisters dismay. Carla and I sat in her closet on blankets and I remember feeling like I was in a treehouse. We excitedly decided to write our names on the inside of her closet wall, and of course, we got an earful when we were "discovered". That memory has...

Carla was a beautiful young girl in high school, the envy of many of her classmates...she sat in front of me in physics and we would often laugh at the antics of our teacher! Beautiful, bright woman. Be at peace now old friend.

Carla was not only a beloved colleague, but she was also my therapist! She was an amazing woman, and we often talked about her daughter, Ella, and how much fun she had when she was with her! She was always looking for something new to do with her! As a therapist, Carla got me back to my baseline painlessly! She was an amazing young woman, and I will miss her!
