Carmen what a joy you are to be around. I had no idea of all the many activities you took part in. The Sweetwater Manor breakfasts at the golf course were fun. Loved hearing about 'the hill' in previous years. Dave & I wish we had known you better. With love

Carmen was a vivacious spirit I loved her gracious welcome whenever I visited. You blessed me with a lifelong friend- your daughter Annette

I remember Carmen as the "cool" Mom! She was always a role model for me and I wanted to be as cool and independent as her. I remember meeting her for the first time walking home from Saint Rose with Annette. She was working at Savon, always a big smile on her face, just full of life, and very animated. I will miss you Carmen!

I feel so blessed to have been a part of your life, my favorite memories are our talks over breakfast, and making you Mexican hot chocolate at night, your smile lit up the world, heaven will be a brighter place, thank you Carmen

So many fond memories of Grandma Carmen and the summers at her house swimming, riding horses, chasing the ice cream truck, eating enchiladas and many many more treasured memories. So sorry to hear of her passing. My prayers are with Aunt Net, Jennifer, Luke and families. Love y'all.
