The World Lost a Beautiful Soul, Carla Renee Bastian left this earth surrounded by her Loving family.
Carla was a giver. While she loved the sun, fall weather, and spending time with her family. Her greatest power was the gift of giving. Not gifts or presents, but she showed you what it was to be loved, feel safe, have purpose and be important. She touched many people’s lives, and we have many wonderful memories to hold onto. Though her battle with cancer cut her time short with us, her gift of giving will continue forever.

Carla's true passion was teaching kids the Love of watersports.

We are a group of boat owners providing water sports opportunities to abandoned, abused and neglected children, as well as for the handicapped and our wounded warriors. WTW is the largest all volunteer organization of its kind, with over 500 volunteered boats world-wide
