Carla was a magnificent friend! I was terrified of her when I first met her, but soon found a warmth of friendship, compassion and a source from a wonderful hug! Football and family brought us together and I will not soon forget her! My thoughts and prayers for comfort for her family - she loved you all! You could see that her grandchildren were the light of her life!
