We offer our deepest sympathy. When tragedy strikes and takes the life of our innocent loved ones, many cry out with we great sorrow. Your tears are not unnoticed by the Creator of Life. Never was it his purpose for our human lives to be taken away. Although your deep pain will not easily disappear, prayer to God will bring comfort to you as you grieve. The Bible assures us God "is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spot." Psalm 147:3

Carla was my good friend for 30 years. I first met her in college, and from the start I was struck by her perceptiveness, honesty, empathy and intuition. She had a finely tuned sensitivity that made her so fragile and incredibly rare and special, and I am grateful that I had the chance to know her.
