Dear Joey and Gregg our deepest sympathies.
Even though over the last few years we haven't seen Carmen as much, she will always be a special part of our lives.
We met your Mom and Dad shortly after they moved here and had many years of good times together. We helped each other over some rough timed also. I could count on Carmen to listen when I needed to vent and never repeat or judge me for what I said.
Joey, Greg you will always have a special place in our hearts.
Some good times we remember are the dune buggy rides, Carman when the car dealer made her mad, and riding in the old black car with Joe when the breaks went.
