Adam and Meg,
Just wanted you to know how unbelievably saddened I am to hear of your Mom's passing. I loved your Mom and so enjoyed talking with her and hearing her talk about you boys and her grandkids. She was an amazing lady! I wish you and your family all the best and if there is anything I can do, please call.

Carla was always smiling and laughing. I think Carla and I hear here laughing. I see her smiling. She was just done right fun and wonderful to be with. As my childhood friends pass, one bright thing is to connect with friends who come to honor our fallen friend. I grew up with the Beck family and can only feel thankfulness for that priviledge. Farewell Carla, and may we all be blessed with Carla's wonderful infectious zest for life!

Carla was one of the first people I met when my family moved to her neighborhood. She was one of my Young Women leaders. Her laugh, smile and love will forever warm my heart. Love to her family!

Many years ago, Carla served as my Young Women's leader. She instilled confidence in me and made sure I felt loved. We loved being with her. She spread happiness everywhere. I still have a personal note that she wrote to me and I am grateful for her influence in my life. She is not forgotten and never will be. My condolences to her family.

Carla and her Siblings and Parents Lived in the Valley View 9th Ward, where I was also a member. The Limburg's and the Beck's were close families and shared many fond memories. I am saddened at Carla's passing and will always cherish that early childhood and teenage experience we shared. Carla would light up any room or any conversation, with her vivacious, warm, funny personality. I am reminded by the Church Hymn "Have I Done Any Good in the World Today" and the Line: "Have I Cheered Up The Sad and Made Someone Feel Glad, If Not I have Failed Indeed." Carla did not fail this quality....she willed her happiness and heartfelt love on everyone she associated with. I am so grateful for the moments in life that I shared with Carla.

To Carla's Family, I am so sorry and feel saddened to read about her leaving us to a better place.
I was her neighbor up the street and the same age, we had alot of great times with her and Annette Arata and acting like total goon's as kids do most of those time, she was such a wonderful and blessed person.
My heart goes out to the family she has left behind and what a wonderful heart she had in my years of knowing her. She will be missed. I am sorry I was not there to know about it and being out of the country.

Carla was a lovely person, and met in her in Salt Lake 34 years ago. My fondest memory was when she invited me along with some of her friends to sing carols outside Spencer W Kimball 's house. When he came outside to see us Carla encouraged me to go and speak to him, something I will never forget. Thinking of the family at this sad time.

Carla was there for my mother and I when we were in one of our darkest hours of need! What an inspiring women. Thank you! I will miss you so much. And to all the Howell's, I am so very sorry for your loss! There is not much worse than losing a mother. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are pouring out condolences to you. The pain cannot be diminished, but hopefully your testimony of the Gospel will ease the sting a bit.

To the Howell and Beck family - what a tremendous loss. I am so so sorry. Carla was my best childhood friend. I'm glad I have a ton of pictures and memories of all the fun we had as kids growing up - the fun times spent in the Valley View 9th Ward, the fun times up in Heber, all through High School and one entire fun-filled month in Hawaii - that was memorable! I will miss you Carla! Terry, kids and the Beck family, my heart and prayers go out to you.

Carla always had a smile on her face no matter what she suffering she was going through. She was fun and always up for an adventure. She was kind and loving to everyone. And when you talked to her you had her full attention. Truly and elect Daughter of God.
