Oh I hate to hear that. She was a wonderful lady. I loved reading about her. I never got to hear her, she never came close enough to my area for me to hear her lectures but I had also hoped that I would be able to someday. She will be missed by many. I will keep her family in my thoughts and prayers.

that's sad. She sounded so full of life with all her travels around the country meeting people who'd read her book.

I met Carla On the 6th of this month. Just days before she passed away. She was a wonderful woman. Two years ago she was to come stay with us to do a talk but my father died and we were having houseing troubles. She remembered me and all that we had been thru. After seeing thousands of people she remembered me. I was so touched. My family and I helped her and Don load there van. We all talked and laughed. She took a picture with my friend and me. . I will treasure those memories forever.

My friend had her come to our town last year. In fact I took the picture of her speaking that's on her web site. She was an awesome lady. She will be missed.
