I did not know Carla, but I came across this page, and just felt I had to light a candle and leave a comment. Carla was a beautiful girl and it is such a shame she was so young. My heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends.
<3/ Hollie Gissing (Good Friend )
Hey, Carla. it's been a while since I've written here, but I felt the need to. I was going through all of my rubbish in my bedroom last week, jsut to clean up, y'know. And I found my old English book! It still had the notes in there we used to write to each other! I got a bit choked up and then I just smiled, it brought back fond memories of our English and Maths classes together. I'm in your little sister's Psychology class now. It's weird because it's not you =/ But we get on,though she doesn't know I was friends with you. It's not something I want to bring up, really. It's now 2007, and you know....you should have been coming to mine and Kris's engagement party. I knew you were smiling down on us, though. And I want you to be at our wedding, please? You'd have loved him, Carla. I miss you. And love you loads. xxxxxxxx Close
You were Claire's very special and best friend / Sarah Matthews (Visitor)
Dear Carla, I am Claire and Jenny's Cousine, I am so sorry, shcoked and deverstated about what has happened to you, Claire and Jenny. I remember when me and Claire were very little probably in infant school and she used to talk alot about how you were her very speial and best friend-i can see from reading the messages that you made just as much impact on everybody that you met. You were all such special girls and i hope that you are all looking after one annother. You will all be in my thoughts for the rest of my life R.I.P Carla, Claire and Jenny X X X Close
Fond Memories / Jonny Kutts (Very Special Friend )
I have just been looking through some old E-mails that we sent to each other. Its so great to read such great memories that we had of each other and the respect we had as well. It made me so sad of course but i finished reading them with a big smile. I feel so blessed and touched that i got to enjoy some of the best moments of my life with someone as special as you. That beautiful presence could have touched the soul of anyone and made their life special because of its you. For that reason i still and forever will feel priviledged. Thank you pretty for being the person you are all my love forever and always Jonny x x x Close

To My Little Angel / Hollie Shirley (Work Friend )
Carla, It's been a long time since I wrote anything on here, mainly because I havent been able to bring myself to. But I think I owe it to you to let you know what I've been doing. Not a single day goes by when I dont think about you guys, I missed you on my birthday last week, you made it so fab last year at Hoseasons (we sat there and ate chocolate all evening!) that I just didnt expect to top it! But we went to see Steve Harley, I dont think I ever Introduced you to that music, because I didnt know of it myself. But he played my favorite songs, Here comes the sun And Star For a Week and they just reminded me of you. I was nearly chocked with emotion when he was singing while I thought of you guys, it really touched me. Then last week we went to see a guy called Glenn Tilbrook, and he played a song called some fantastic place, and the words just reminded me of you again. It was amazing. I think about you guys every day. Every time I listen to a song its like you have put some hidden message in there which comforts me, and it really helps me get through the day. I miss you guys so much, and I know you are looking down on me because every time I look up, I can see that little twinkle in you eye looking down at me. Take care angel xxxxx Close
Thanksgiving In Heaven / Donna Gramlich (Mother of Another Angel {Matthew} )
When you woke up this morning And washed your sleepy face, Did you think to pause a minute or two And thank God for His grace? Or when you stepped outside today And you saw that big blue sky, And that shinin' sun that smiles on you Like the Lord was sayin' "Hi"... Did you stop to pray and thank the Lord For the good He sends your way, For His matchless love and His endless grace That He pours out every day? How would you rate at the Pearly Gate If God said, "Don't you know... You've as many days as you filled with praise When you walked down there below!" Would you get to spend just a short weekend Or a half a dozen worth, If He let you stay for each single day That you thanked Him while on earth? While it sure is great that we celebrate What we call Thanksgiving Day, And it's fun to see all the family And to watch the children play... Still, it just seems odd that we thank our God Only when Thanksgiving's here, For it seems to me giving thanks should be Every day throughout the year!

Carla,
It doesn't seem like 4 and a half months.....its hard to believe so much time has passed. In some ways, it feels like so much longer. It's so hard not to be able to ring you whenever i feel like it, especially now at university.
I know you would have loved to visit me here, remembering our perfect day.

Carla.....my sister and now my angel / Kerry (Sister)
Carla the pain is still unbearable and i can't believe it has already been 4 months! It still sometimes doesn't feel real and i expect to see you walk through the door wanting a cup of tea, it hurts knowing you won't. I'm trying to be strong but i am finding it so hard as this is now my life and i hate it, you should be here! One of the things i am missing most of all is our sisterly chats and gettin your advice, i need that more than ever right now and am finding it really hard without you. I miss everything about you Carla, no one will ever no how painful this all is. Love you forever and always XxXxXxXYour little sister KerryXxXxXxX

Sitting here listening to Run by Snow Patrol... / Adam Cox (Good Friend )
This song reminds me of you so much, especially from all the memorial music played for you. Am still thinking of you and Claire and Jenny lots. It's hard imagining that i'm here at Bournemouth University studying Media and you didn't get the chance to do it. Was in a TV Studio the other day directing, you would have loved it. One day i'll make my film and SCA Productions shall live on one way or another, miss you xxx Close
"She's got herself a little piece of heaven,waiting for the time when Earth shall be as warm" Like other visitors I too was searching for Madonna's Ray Of Light and came across this site The song means a whole lot to me partly because it reminds me of the 90's and a wave of nostalgia washes over me
Carla was too young to go but Everyone has a time and place to go so be assured that she is in a better place (chilling out with angels)
I am deeply sorry / Andres Valencia (Did not know her )
Well. I found Carla's website by chance and I admmit it really moved me. She was so young and you do not understand why this happened. Honestly I was looking for Madonna's Ray of light and I read the web page and from that moment on that song means diferent things to me...when I see a ray of light coming through my window in my house in Colombia ( Shakira's birthplace) I imagine that Carla is nos around SHE IS THE RAY OF LIGHT ITSELF Close
My deepest condolences / Hascenn Masud
I happened to visit this site by accident, however I must say that I realize the grief and sorrow that must've been experieced by Carla's family for losing her so early. My deepest condolences to Carla's family and friends.
Sad Loss / Kat Holt (Visitor)
I happened to falll upon this site by accident but the kindness of strangers has touched me to write something, It really seems like you were such a loss all i can say is my thoughts are with the amazing amount of friends that miss you dearly and you're family.You would be my age and i'd even take you for a drink, such a beautiful bright girl seems such a sad loss!Rest in peace Carla XxXxX Close

I miss you to much / Katie Stebbings (the sisiter i never had )
Dearest Carla, From the day that stebbs(danny), met you i knew instantly that you must be an amazing person. There were notices on our whiteboard from dan to me saying that i have to meet you, i prayed that you wasn't like the others. Then i met you and you were beyond anything i could pray for my brother to have, love and in return be loved. All i ever wanted was for him to find someone like you and he did. From then on i didn't need to worry about him, i knew he was going to be on top of the world as soon as as i asked you that question and you replied...."i'm here to stay, i love him and nothing can change that." To hear you say that was a major relief. I just wish that i can wake up from this nightmare, and you are there again holding his hand giggling away and day dreaming into his eyes as he day dreams into yours too. I miss eating KFC with you while ruining the movie we're watching with dan because we are giggling and chatting too loud over it. I miss so much but u i know that your always here, inside us all i just wish you were here more often. I do love you carla as though you were the sisiter i never had, i'm just grateful that i ever got you as a sister. All my love Katie xxx
