I was so sorry to hear about Carla's passing. She and I became friends when we were in dialysis. When I moved to another shift I didn't see her again and of course the nurses could not tell anything about her. So I was unaware of her being ill until I saw her in the Obituaries. I want to express my deepest sympathy to the family and especially to the daughter-in-law who drove her to dialysis.
