Mom,
It's been 2 years since you gained your Angel wings, it still feels like it was yesterday. We miss you so much. You were the glue to our family. We will forever carry you in our hearts. Love you mom!

Mi querida Señora Carmen, siempre estarás en mi mente y en mi corazón. Durante mi estadía en L.A fuiste una madre conmigo, me ayudaste cuando más lo necesitaba, me cobijaste en tu hogar con tu bella familia y me brindaste mucho amor, cómo bien lo sabes dar. Siempre recordaré nuestras salidas al cine, a comer, a caminar y a ver programas de mucha risa, pasamos un tiempo maravilloso y construimos un hermoso sueño de tener un preescolar, o como me decías ...nuestro changarro. Te quiero con toda el alma y sé que algún día te volveré a ver, me duele tu partida pero sé que estás descansando del dolor y del sufrimiento.  Simplemente te fuiste antes para iniciar tu labor de cuidado desde los cielos, al lado del Rey de Reyes y Señor de Señores, pero de seguro algún día nos encontraremos porque ya lo hicimos aquí en la tierra. Espero verte y abrazarte en los cielos. 
Te quiero mucho y por siempre,
Martha Nubia. 

Precious Carmen,

You gave so much LOVE to this world and especially to our beloved children. My heart is broken that you are no longer here on this earth, but I know our Heavenly Father has special wings for you in Heaven! I love you dearly, and I am eternally grateful for how wonderful you were to my children, Hannah & Luke. I will always treasure our time together (sometimes at The Warehouse in Marina Del Rey - so fun!) and the common bond we share in loving Jesus Christ. 

Until we meet again, precious soul. You are missed beyond words. I love you!

Your Friend & Sister in Christ,
Amanda McDaniel & Family

My dearest Lucky: You and Letty were only 6 years old when I was born, all my childhood memories take me back to those days when I realized I had you two always by my side, lending me your toys and dolls, teaching me how to walk, holding my hand and playing, combing and braiding my hair💫
… All those winters, summers and autumns in Chicago skating, swimming and playing in the snow with you, make me feel sooo nostalgic,..
Time flew, but as we grew and we were separated by distance, the memories of your kindness and softness of speaking, your goodness and tender way of loving all that knew you, remains in me. 
I’m so sorry and sad that we couldn’t  spend more time together, but time shared was of such quality, that I am proud of sharing part of my life with such a wonderful and marvelous cousin like you.
Rest In Peace my dearest Lucky and enjoy your well deserved  heaven, keep shining in the light of our Heavenly Father, enjoy all the blessings of reuniting with our parents, rejoice with your twin brothers and please prepare me a space besides you, so I can feel your warm embrace again one day.
Love always, Audrey  

Heaven just received a special angel! Fly high Carmen. See you on the other side with our Creator where there is no pain nor sorrow! Peace & Love 🕊🥀🕊🥀

Thank you Ms. Carmen for helping raise me since I was 2 months old. I am thankful for everything you did for me. You are now God's angel 😇 

Carmen,
I know you’re basking in the Lord’s beautiful presence and dancing in His glory.
You were so kind and comforting to me, you encouraged me, listened to me and always offered your guidance whenever I needed it; you were my second mom. You were always doing things for others. You adored children and animals, and you loved people when they were at their worst as well as their best. You loved unconditionally, in every sense of the word and thankfully passed that ability to love so well down to her son. I know because I am the fortunate person of that love.
I know you are walking on streets of gold and no longer in pain. Your wings were ready but my heart was not. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
May you Rest in Paradise. I love and miss you so so so much ♥️🕊

Mom, I never thought I would be writing in your obituary this soon. You left us too soon and words can not express how much I miss you. I know you told my brother Alex and me to be strong, but how are we suppose to be strong when you were our everything. Memories of our trips together, especially our last trip to New York to see your favorite Rockettes will never be forgotten. Trying to cope with this grief of no longer having you by our side, is unbearable but I know you are at peace dancing with all of our departed family and Skippy too! Rest assured that we will be ok, I promised you that I would take care of Alex and my dad and that's a promise that will always be fulfilled no matter what. All of your munchkins miss you soo much, they know you are watching them from above. Mom, we will love you forever and ever and I will never forget what you would always tell us "Don't Worry, Be Happy".     

Mom,  we spoke about this day and we agreed we would both be strong through this, but no matter how prepared we thought we were I guess it wasn’t enough. I love you with all my heart mom, rest in peace with the rest of our family we will one day be reunited again ❤️ “ ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh (Don't worry) Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh (Be happy)” 🕊🕊🕊
