Lane and Debbie,
So sorry to hear about the loss of Carla. You did such a wonderful job of taking care of her, and getting her to my mom's funeral. That was so nice of you. I hope she is reunited with her mom and dad in heaven. She will be missed.

Dear Lane, Debbie, Susan & family. Rick & I have many happy memories of Carla with card club and trips to Las Vegas. She & your Mom were responsible for matchmaking Rick & I in Las Vegas and it worked. We know you took good care of Carla in the past few years and at times it was difficult. We are sorry for your loss. Jan & Rick Luther

Dear Lane, Debbie, and Susan: I was saddened to hear of Carla's passing. I worked with Carla for many years at the Department of Employe Trust Funds up until her retirement in 1996. She was a dedicated hard working individual and a true professional who helped many people while employed at the Agency. You have my sympathy.
