It has been so many years ago, but Carla and I went to school togather.
I'll never forget the time Carla's mom was going to teach me how to give Carla a shot. I was so scared I couldn't do that to my best friend.
I am so sorry to hear of her passing, she was so loved. May God be with this family and help them with their grief.

Danny & Charlie,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. You're both in our thoughts & prayers. May you find comfort in knowing that Carla is at peace now. I'm sure if there's a Dewey's bakery in heaven, she'll be the first to find it. I'll always remember her kind words & the generousity that she always showed toward others. Her smile would light up the room. I've been a part of the Auto Supply family for 15 years & never have I met such a wonderful group of folks.Please let me know if you need anything. It was an honor to know Carla & I will miss her dearly.
With all my love, Steffny Sperber
