I have known Carmen for many years as a fellow staff member at Hemet High School and as a school counselor to many of her kids. I've always admired her devotion to her family and remember her well because she always had a smile and kind words for me whenever I saw her. I send my sincere condolences to Angel and all of the Lopez family.

Dear Lopez Family, our deepest sympathies go out to you. We are out of town and cannot be with you but please know we are there in spirit. The last time Scott and I saw Carmen, just a few weeks ago, it was the usual hugs and kisses. She was such a warm and loving person and her love will remain wrapped around all of you forever. We will miss her and always remember that great smile. Scott and Dee Cozart
