Miss Carla (Vicky too) was a big and very important part of my life age 4-18. She created a dancing heart in me. She was a wonderful woman.

Miss Carla thought me dance for over 12 years until I graduated high school in 1981. I remember all of her solo dances, especially “Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road” I love the song to this day!! Carla loved her job and it showed!! Many sympathies to Vicki and the whole family.
