We
only got to meet Carmen once, and that was at Melissa and Ian's wedding.
Carmen did a marvelous job of walking Melissa down the aisle and giving
her away. Melissa is a lovely, beautiful granddaughter to us now, and we
are so proud of her. She is a marvelous wife and mother and we love having
her in our family. We appreciate the part you had in her life very much.
Sincerely, Joann and Don Sapp

Dear Uncle Ottie...I want you know that even though it's been a very long time since we have seen each other, you will always be an Uncle very dear to my heart. I will always have such great memories of you for ever. You will always be the best and fastest coffee stirer ever!!!! You always made everone laugh...and every time I hear Sinatra you come to mind. I hope you and Jack can finally reunite and catch up. Thank you for all of the great times I had growing up. I will never forget that big house in Riverside, we all had so much fun. I love you, and I know that you are out of pain, and in a better place. Give my love to my Dad, Aunt Loretta, Gram and Gramps. Until we meet again...go in peace.

My heart goes out to the family and friends who were fortunate enough to know Carmen. I for one was fortunate enough to know him through Grandma Flo and Grandpa. He never made me feel like an outsider; I remember sitting at Grandma's house and him coming downstairs to go somewhere or just for coffee and cracking jokes. He was such a good man and very thoughtful. I will miss him dearly and my heart is just broken to know we lost a good man when Carmen passed. Love, Grandpa Steve's granddaughter
