Dear Carla,
I remember when I first met you when you came to the US and enrolled in South Forsyth. We've been friends ever since and we will always be. Thank you for being one of the best friends I ever had. You had a huge heart and were such a sweet person, always looking out for me. I'll never forget the times with our team, in Cross Country, all of our meets and bus rides, and of course going to camp and being the 2 JCIT's from South! Or going to homecoming our senior year together and then ditching everyone else early and hanging out afterwards together. Or all of our camping trips to lake lanier and the native american reservation and Rosie and the gang. Thank you for giving me memories I can smile at when I look back at those times. Without you, I wouldn't have nearly as many. You were so very talented in everything you did, especially cycling, and I did expect you to be an Olympian for sure. I will never forget my dear friend Carla, or Safrica, :) as I nicknamed you. Rest in Peace.
Love, Shaina.

You were my favorite female cycling racer. A lady I never met but enjoyed watching race along with enjoying your Facebook posts. You had such kind words for me when I asked about getting my 13 year old daughter into cycling. I am so sad that you were taken too early from this world but when I ride I will always think of you. You were a gift to us all and the world will never be the same.

Carla was a special athlete. It is amazing how many lives she touched in such a short time. Her drive and determination is something we should all try to achieve. To be the best we can at everything we do. I will always be thankful I was able to be a part of her journey through life and her mine!

Carla,

I will never forget the first time I met you at our first race years ago. Your vibrant personality and fiery red hair was a sight not to be missed. Over the years, we raced together as teammates, against each other in collegiate, and danced nights away on Halloween. I will miss your enthusiasm for life and the happiness that you always brought when you were around.

Carla, You made an incredible impact on the Lees-McRae College campus. We were all blessed to have you in our lives, even if it was for a short period of time. You came to LMC in my senior year, but I had the pleasure to come back as a staff member and watch you grow- as an individual and as a cyclist. The very first time I met you, I told you, "Now don't forget me when you're famous!" and you smiled humbly and said, "Oh, I'll never be famous." I toldyou then that you already were, at least in our minds and hearts. You are OUR champion, and we will hold you with us forever. As we share stories, memories, triumphs and failures.. we will keep you alive and with us. Every time I look out into the clear sky at night, and see a start twinkling in the distance, I'll be thinking of the star that touched down in my life- You.

You will missed by many people Carla. I still remember you showing up for your 1st Reality Bikes ride.
Red Trek 2 sizes too big, helmet off to one side, running late. You loved every minute of it. You inspired everyone you met. You were taken from us way too soon. You will always be remembered.

YOU WILL NOT BE ALONE - WE ARE IN THOUGHT WITH YOU !!!
