Carla was an inspiration to many of us who are seeking to abolish the death penalty once and for all. She was courageous, visionary, and humane in her calm persistence supporting this magnificent and meaningful cause. I will always remember her passion and kindness. She was instrumental in changing my position on the death penalty, and for that I will be forever grateful. I ask blessings in her memory and prayers for her family in this difficult time. Hon. Leland P. Anderson, (District Court Judge-Retired)
