I think of Carmen, when she would walk with her three sisters to the store on Wilde, just a lovely person.

Frank, Terri, Bob, Jim, Kay, and girls, I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. I have many good memories of Carmen ... sitting on the beach at Clear Lake, having good conversations and her throwing in a good "punch" line when it was totally unexpected. She had a very witty sense of humor. I hope that the memories you have built through the years will carry you through the rest of your life. I've asked my mom to welcome her at heaven's gate with a bottle of champagne and I'm sure they are partying away.

Frank, Terri, Bobby and family, I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. I remember our good times at Clear Lake sitting on the beach and her witty sense of humor. She always contributed a good "punch" line. I hope that the memories you have built throughout the years will carry you going forward. I've asked my mom to greet her at heaven's gates with open arms and champagne.

Growing up in Vis. Valley, my sisters and I always looked up to our beautiful cousin Carmen. In the last few years, my wife and I have appreciated sharing with Carmen & Frank at our family gatherings. And, we were so happy to see her and spend time with her last year at the Balboa Alumni picnic. I was very proud to be her cousin.
