CARMEN BALTHROP-DELANEY

I was so saddened by the news of Carmen's passing. It feels impossible that such a force of nature is gone. Condolences for the family, she was a treasure.

My deepest condolences to you all for this great loss. Carmen was my classmate and the best of friends at Theodore Roosevelt HS. Carmen was a great inspiration to me and our whole high school class, which Carmen built on throughout her life and career.

Love and condolences to the family. I met her during the Kennedy Center run of Treemonisha and marveled at her voice and gentle spirit. She will be missed.

Earth´s loss is Heaven´s gain. We thank God for sharing this treasure with us. May his comfort be with the family as we extend our condolences, prayer, and love!

Carmen was not only a very distinguished singer and teacher, but she also committed her talents and time to making the whole University better through her work on University Senate committees. She was a delight to work with on any task she chose - and is deeply missed! Jerry

It afforded me the opportunity to see her launch out into her career as an opera singer. Being a graduate student in music at that time, for me it was a "master class" . And with my understanding of her...
