We never know at what hour our purpose here has been fulfilled and we will be called home.
We are so very saddened by Carla's passing.
Carla was such a nice and caring person.
In the last card that we received from her she told us to not let you sit around and to keep you busy.
In bold capital letters she wrote HAHAHA!
We shall honor her wishes.
Keep her memory alive in your heart and your head and remember LOVE NEVER DIES!

There are no words to express the loss I feel of losing my sweet, dear friend. We have shared so many joys. The weddings, birth of our grandchildren, our vacations (we love the beach), football games and tailgating, our breakfasts, lunches, dinners, movies and concerts and of course shopping! We also have been there for each other during our sorrows and our losses. I could not have had a better friend. Receiving her thoughtful cards and her love of bunnies are some of the things I will always carry with me. Love you Carla!
Cliff, Amy, Meridith and Joy, I cry with you and your family. Our family will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers!

We were very sad to hear of Carla's illness and her passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Carla was definitely a jewel and our daughter always thought of her as a second mom, especially when she was in school at Bellarmine and the whole family welcomed her into their home and family. It is never easy to lose a loved one but there are no doubt many memories and traditions that will keep her near and dear in your hearts. We are here for any and all of you should you need us.
