She was a very loving and caring person. She was very close to her brothers and sisters and children and that made her a special person.
She will be greatly missed.
Love you Carmen. May you rest in peace.

Tonia, Cindy & Evan: We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your grandmother & great grandmother. We know she was such a big part of your lives. Your love and devotion to Carmen over many years, especially after her beloved husband passed on, was both a comfort and motivation for her. She was a special lady, and her specialness lives on through the good you do in your lives.
