Such a sweet girl . I pray the Holy Spirit brings much comfort
Sorry for the loss of your family member. Praying yall find peace and comfort
Praying for the family that God gives them peace & comfort during this time. I truly loved Ms Carla. She was such a blessing to everyone. She had such a beautiful voice. She loved serving & worshipping the Lord. She will be truly missed by everyone who knew her. Heaven gained a beautiful angel!!
Carl & Mary, I’ve found that when a heart breaks the pieces never fit back together the way they were previously. We can only trust in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to comfort us until we heal enough to carry on.
May God keep His loving and healing arms surrounding you all. The pain of a loss never goes away, but by the grace of God, we learn to cope with our new reality.
We love you both. And through an extension of Christ’s love, and by His example, we love your family as well.
We are here and we are willing to do anything you need. At anytime, give us a call if you need to talk, come by and we’ll sit and have coffee, have us run errands, literally anything you need, we ARE here for you.
We love you and pray for you daily, but even more so at this time.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Amen. (Numbers 6:24-26)
May God wrap his arms around all of you and help you through your sadness..May he also bring you some Peace . Our prayers for allof you..Love you all.
Carl and family,
There are no words to express the sadness we feel to know that our precious Carla won’t be with us to share her beautiful smile and bubbly personality anymore. Her presence would light up the room. However, she is just a little bit ahead of many of us. I know her homecoming was a joyous occasion when the angels delivered her to heaven. My family and I loved her dearly. We’re praying for comfort and peace for those of us left behind, especially for Preston and Sawyer. We will keep you all in our prayers in the coming months. God’s love and grace will provide peace as only He can. We love you all.
Kay , Sheri, Rick, Susan,Shannon,
Sorry for your loss love and prayers to Family
Preston and Sawyer, I’m sorry for the loss of your mom, she loved you both more than life itself. Please remember she will be with you always. I pray God guides your steps as you both take on challenges the world puts in your path. Trust God in all aspects of your life.
Prayers. What a beautiful friend, what a beautiful voice.
This week has just been tough all around. I’ve prayed for Carla, her siblings, her babies, her dad and my mom. I’ve also prayed for all those who loved Carla and there were many. She was certainly a special person nf the void she leaves will be felt for a long, long time.
I take comfort in knowing that she was welcomed into Heaven by her sweet little mama and all those that went before. I can only imagine.
I will certainly miss her laugh. It was unmistakable as was her love for her two sons. It was strong.
She is now patiently waiting for the rest of us probably thinking about the games we will play and the songs she will beautifully sing for eternity.
She will be missed for sure and I’m lucky I got to call her my sibling even for a short while.
