I was so sad to hear about Carm today, please accept my condolences.Carm will be missed by alot of people.She probably thought that she lived an average life without much fuss.Just raising her family and enjoying life and work but she touched many people and added value to thier lives.Carm was a straight shooter and didn't suffer fools which made her very fun to be around, even if you were the fool!

During a recent visit with her I was afraid that we tired her out too much but I also saw that Carm really enjoyed the story telling and the laughing that it was hard to leave. We were all lucky to have known her and my prayers are with you all, who well miss her so much.
