Dear Auntie Carm! We have such a special bond! It started out with you being my godmother when I was born and it developed into a beautiful friendship for 50+ years! You will always be remembered and your recipes will live on forever! We shared a lot of laughs and cries together! I know you will continue to look out for me from heaven as you did here on earth! Love You!!! Your favorite niece "lol" ToniMarie
