Many prayers go out to this family who Carla kept close. I pray for their healing and strength to get them through this tragedy. Then my prayer goes to Carla and let her know she did a good job as a person, daughter, mother, wife and friend. Also I pray she is waiting for me when I get up there with her so we can continue catching up. Carla Moore Manning…Im going to miss you friend.

I met Carla years ago when our kids played on the same softball team for the P.A.L. Center. I loved her immediately! She was super fun and had so much love and admiration for all her kids. And you know it’s mutual by what they have to say about their mother and the cherished memories they share.
However tough she was, her heart was just as big. For a complete stranger she offered a place to sleep and helped with finding them a job – proof of God’s work and being a faithful servant, an example for us all. )Matthew 25:34-40).
She was the real deal and will always be fondly remembered. My deepest condolences to all her family and loved ones. She will be immeasurably missed.
