I will miss Carmen. She was a beautiful, lovely lady. Rich and my husband, Steve, were good friends. Carmen and I often walked on the beach at conventions while they played golf. All of us had some fun times! I wish I could have caught up with her in the past years. Rip Carmen. My family will miss you, dear friend.

Carmen was a wonderful lady. I only got to visit a few times when my deceased husband worked for Rich. The family is in my prayers.

I'll never forget the first time we met Carmen. Rich said you have to meet my mom. I reached to shake her hand and she said friends of Rich & Mel get hugs.
That was Carmen..
