I met Carmella about 4 or 5 years ago. She quickly became one of my very good friends, she will never be forgotten. She was a very kind, concerned, considerate and caring friend. When I had a terrible surgery 2 1/2 years ago, she made sure she get to my house and with her lunch, and many, many visits till I got back on my feet! That was the kind of person she was, always concerned.

Carmella has left a very wonderful memory for me of who she was and what she stood for. I will never forget her. Thank you for being you, Carmella. Love to you Trish
