Words cannot express my sorrow. Carla was such a sweet, fun loving person. I am so glad that our paths crossed as members of the close knit Virginia Beach SSA office team. Rest in Peace, Carla. Keeping you, her loved ones, in my thoughts and prayers.

Such a beautiful soul. I worked with Carla before she retired, we actually sit next to each other. We had some good laughs together. I even got our office to go to Karaoke. We had a ball, we laughed, we drank and we sang. I will never forget that. She still would even wish me happy birthday on Facebook after she retired. I will definitely miss her posting about her children and karaoke. To the family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to the family, friends, and former co-workers. Carla was a great resource for the SSA Family in VA Beach and to the claimants she assisted during her tenure with the agency. She was a wealth of knowledge to me when I worked in VA Beach from 2004-08. May her soul Rest In Peace and may she forever be remembered for all the wonderful things she did and accomplished while on Earth. Rest well Carla until we meet again
