Carla's was quite the boy when we were all little. Out of all the grandchildren he was the ONLY boy. We gave him such a hard time. But he took it all in stride. He was such a character. We always had such good times all of us together at Grandma Bias's, we'd play on the rock wall, we'd get into trouble, she'd yell at us, that we were all being too rowdy. There were six girls and just Carla's. Poor Grandma she'd have to unplug her hearing aids cause we were all just too much, with all the giggles and laughters!! We did have a good time. Rest well, dear little cousin!!
