To all of the Valenzuela family, Lee and I send our deep sympathy for your mom's passing. By all accounts, she was a wonderful woman who certainly earned her angel wings managing all of the boys! We only wish we had known her. Sad times for you, but take comfort that she is reunited with your dad. Fondly, Lee and Marianne Burton

I will always have fond memories of Mrs. Valenzuela. She always had a smile on her face and welcomed everyone who came into hers and Mr. Valenzuela's home including Amphi football, basketball, and baseball teams. She fed an army of athletes and gave many of us haircuts to keep all the Amphi coaches happy. She was also the best Travel Agent ever. She will always be remembered. May God Bless Carmen and all of her sons and all of the Valenzuela Family.
