Carla was a beautiful Christian woman. I was blessed to sit and talk with her from time to time. She spoke with grace and thanked the Lord for all the blessings in her life. Never anything but honor for our Savior. So thankful our paths crossed.
I love this lady to the bottom of my heart. She was a model Christian being the hands and feet of our savior. I had the honor of serving on no less than 3 water well mission trips with Carla and her husband Steve to Honduras and Guatemala. She loved and desired to minister to the needy children and families of central America. Her leadership, service, direction and suggestions on trips were rock solid. She was the originator of Texas Mission Team responsible for hundreds of people to currently have clean drinking water. Carla with a C, I look forward to seeing you again in heaven.
Steve and Donna our prayers for you in this time of grieving from us and Aqua Viva Internacional/ Dennis Miller. Dennis said the staff in Honduras is praying for you and yours in this time of grief.

What a beautiful lady in mind, body, & soul. She always smiled & didn’t want anyone to feel her pain or feel sorry for her. She loved her God, Steve, family & friends. She brightened any room she walked into with her contagious smile. Her light shined in all who encountered her. She loved every one & saw the best in us all. She shared her love of God & a warm hug. Carla you inspired us to no end. You will be missed but we rejoice in your life & that you are no longer in pain but in our Lords presence with your candle glowing brightly. We love you!

No words will describe how much Carla will be missed. She is a kind and caring soul and was one of my most cherished friends. Knowing she is at peace and is no longer suffering will comfort those of us left to honor her memory but the selfish humanness that we all are victims of, will leave us wishing we could have been blessed with her for longer. So much love and peace for those that are closest to Carla, we love you all. -Anna and Brian Rainwater
Carla always knew how to light up a room with her bright smile which came from within. She let the Light of Jesus shine through her everyday living and truly everyone knew there was something different about her and that Jesus was First and Foremost. She will be missed but NOW rejoicing, praising & worshipping her King face to face!
