To the family of Carletta, my deepest condolences. I know this is late but I’m just finding out about her passing.
We met years ago at PS57.
She was loved very much.
She was alway so very kind, dedicated and strong.
We kept each other in prayer and her smile would always make others come alive.

To the family of Carletta.
I just decided to use Google to find Carletta to try to reconnect. This is what I find…her obituary.
Carletta was a soul mate in the social work world. I knew her from 1974 to 1989.
Then I moved and we never reconnected.
Certainly another warrior for Justice and the down trodden is lost to our world.

To the family of Ms. Loftin;
I also just decided to use Google to find Ms. Loftin after going through some papers and seeing her name on some papers from 1991.
I’m disappointed to read of her passing, almost two years to the day. She always asked and was interested in how my mother and grandmother were doing when we met. It’s nice to see she was loved and I hope she lives in God’s memory and your hearts always.
