I am so saddened to hear of Carlene's passing. I am Maryann's sister and most of my life has been filled with stories of Carlene and her wonderful friendship with my sister. Her kindness, her thoughtfulness and her especially her humor. A big hole has been left in this world. My sincere condolences to the family.

Carleen was a wonderful woman,always with a ready smile. We recently reconnected in St. Petersburg after years in Oviedo & I cherish our times together. I'm out of the country or I would have been at her funeral. May she rest in peace. Armando, Billy & Bobby, my sincere condolences for your loss.

Carleen was one of the most pleasant, thoughtful and kindest people I ever knew. Heaven definitely has another angel. I can't begin to say how saddened I am with her passing. Armando, my heart breaks for all of you and I am deeply sorry that I could not attend Carleen's reception. Unfortunately I didn't hear of her death until the day of her service or I would have been there for all of you. She will forever be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family

Carleen will be missed. I really appreciated the opportunity to get to know her better over the past few years when we ran into each other at Jack's. She was a very lovable and caring person. I appreciate all that she did for my family and I when we were going through a rough period of time. I also am glad for the friendship she brought to my mom. She was one of the kindest people I have known and I feel lucky to have reconnected with her. My prayers are with her family during this difficult time.

The world lost an angel. She was one of the kindest people that I knew. One incident that stands out with me was when we were moving. Karen and I were both exhausted near the end of the move with all the packing and everything pretty much in a shambles. And guess who shows up at that time? Carleen with 2 subway sandwiches and something to drink. That really touched me deeply. No other neighbor came over during the move or even to say good bye. Not that that bothered me because we are all stuck in our own little world but Carleen had the knack of knowing when she could be of help. I will miss her.
