I have several fond memories of visiting with my Aunt Carla. Probably my fondest memory was when she and Warren visited my dad and me when we lived in Austin, Texas. I remember going to a Gospel Brunch one Sunday morning, and then another day when we took a day trip to Gruene, a little Hill Country town that Carla, in particular, really enjoyed. My dad was so happy to have the chance to show them around town and really enjoyed being able to visit with them. She was one of his favorite people. Condolences to Nancy and Gary and all of Carla's family and loved ones. --Eric Blodgett

Carla was the super eldest sister a person could have. She was concerned about the welfare of her younger siblings and “seemed to be always checking on us.” I didn’t realize how much that meant until later. Nancy and Gary, sympathy, love and prayer is given to you. Sorry for your loss. Carla was one of the best. Love you.

When we were in high school, I would borrow her clothes. She always had such pretty clothes. When she got sicker , she remembered that and she would get mad at me. Poor Nancy would end up getting the brunt of the anger and have to listen to Carla getting her anger out because Carla thought it was me that she was yelling at. I hope that she knew how much she was loved and tat I will miss her so much. We really had good times doing nothing when Jack, Warren, her and me would go for rides to nowhere and actually do nothing but look and talk. Big Sister, I love you and know that you are with God's angels.
Say "Hey" to Warren and Jack for me.
