CARLA KALLUK (DEVUONO) On May 30, wrapped in her Mothers arms and surrounded by her family, Carla Robin Diane Kalluk, passed from this Earth and danced into the arms of Jesus. Born April 7, 1995, Carla touched every soul she met. This was particularly evident in the last week by the outpouring of love, support and visits. The family is forever grateful to the staff at Children's Hospital PICU, including her birthday buddy Dr. Murray Kesselman as well as Dr. Veroukis, Dr. Burzynski and Dr. Appendino. We are so grateful to the nursing and respiratory therapy staff that treated Carla and the family with love, compassion and dignity. The family is so thankful to the pastors Jonathon, Jeff, Ernest and Lewis from Springs Church for their support and prayers. Springs Church was Carla's home church. She loved to worship and praise her Savior hands held high while singing her heart out. She was baptized upon confession of her faith in January of 2010. Carla's passing has left an enormous void in our life. We as a family take comfort in our firm belief that Carla has been released into eternal joy where she will thrive in her new perfect body. Where she is running and swimming with Sharon and enjoying amazing food. Carla will one day be joined by her loving parents Frieda Devuono and Jerry Devuono, Anne and Barney Kalluk (and extended family). Sisters and brothers Shirley and Art (Makayla, Isabella), Lindsay and Steve (Kyla, Jaylene, Nicco, Maddox and Piper) Ainslie and Devin (Sophia, Geneva and Cooper) Kat and Kenny (Shepherd). Grandmothers Anna Kroeker and Peggy Devuono. Aunties and Uncles Joann and Manfred Ziesmann, Joyce and Tibor Guban, Karl and Jackie Kroeker and Vic and Nicole Kroeker and their families. Carla loved school. She will be sadly missed by her many friends and teachers at Glenlawn Collegiate. Carla was predeceased by her sisters Sharon Miles and Diane Kalluk, Grandfathers Jake Kroeker and Michael Devuono. Carla shared a very special bond with her many respite nurses over the years. Especially close to her was her crafting partner Alvina Hildebrandt, her travel partner Judy Tardi and movie partner Sherry Herron. Carla had a loving, giving spirit. We have chosen to honour her memory by donating her corneas so that someone else can have the gift of seeing life through Carla's eyes. A celebration of Carla's life will be held today, Saturday, June 2 at 10:30 a.m., Springs Church 725 Lagimodiere Blvd. Viewing at 10:00 a.m. Donations to the Make a Wish Foundation or PSCU Children's Hospital in Carla's memory would be very appreciated.

Our thoughts are with Carla's family. Carla was amazing, she was always smiling even if the day was not going well, she still had a smile on her face that would light up a room. If the lights flicker or get brighter we will know that it is you Carla saying Hi. We will miss her with all our heart. We are so glad to have met her and her family. - Posted by: Jodie and Family (One of her bus drivers) on: Jun 07, 2012

Carla's incredible spirit was evident in everything she did. Carla's art work spoke volumes in a creative sense but as well as a spirited determination to push a piece of art to it's fullest. Her art work was joyous, colorful, and full of life.......just like the young woman that she was. You are truly missed Carla. - Posted by: Carol Noyes (Teacher) on: Jun 06, 2012

I have the memories of our Co-op Ed Camping trip to Luther Village, 2 years ago. Carla was so happy to sit by the fire and listen to the music, to ride in a canoe and enjoy fellowship with staff & students. She was able to sit on a chair with her oxygen but she was right in the water with all her friends. This weekend I will be going to Luther Village for a woman's retreat. I will be making a donation in Carla's name. I also have pics from the "wonderful times at Glenlawn. I was honored to know Carla and she will always be in my heart.

Carla - in the 2 years at Glenlawn that I remember about you was your smile and the sense of humor that made me laugh and the hugs that you give me when i was having a bad day. I love you Carla and you are in my dreams and also are in my thoughts :) - Posted by: Samantha (close friend) on: Jun 04, 2012

Carla was such a positive and happy young girl. I will never forget her dancing in the school gym and ALWAYS smiling. She was such a fighter and a great person. Carla was an angel that God needed to call home. To the Devuono family, you now have two angels in heaven and Sharon and Carla are together again (most likely dancing and singing!). There are no words to express my condolences. Find a bright star in the sky and know that is Carla smiling down on you. Take Care and be there for each other. You are in my thoughts and prayers - Posted by: Judy (teacher) on: Jun 02, 2012
