I haven’t known Carmen for long like a year or so, we hit it off in a group I was in with her and I was always asking her if I could message her but never got a response so I moved on.  One day I noticed she has messaged me and from there it was an instant connection between us both. Carmen was the sweetest and most caring woman I’ve known always asking how I was doing along with my mom. We talked every day if we didn’t we knew something was going on so we definitely would find out. She live het family so much and wanted the best for them as we talked about often. I will miss her tremendously but know she is in a better place watching all of us as we come together to celebrate her life. Carmen thank you for coming into my life and blessing me with your sweet loving being!   Roger

Carmen was always the embodiment of joy. She was a natural caregiver and taking care of others came so naturally to her. She was an amazing sister and loving daughter and the biggest Cowboys fan we know. Carmen, you will be missed so much. Keeping your family in our hearts, thoughts and prayers... 
Love always, Priscilla Rodríguez Lamb on behalf of Guadalupe & Santiago Rodríguez & Family

Carmen was like my big sister.  We grew up living next door to each other so we had many great adventures.  From swinging on swings, bike riding, cutting leaves to use as money, using front window to the house as a drive thru and my favorite putting on   Tia Francis 👠.  I'll never forget all the support Carmen gave my mom when we lost Letty and Jesse.  She help care for Mandito and was just a great person. Gave me encouragement and good advice always.  I will miss you greatly and will always keep our memories in my ❤️.

I met Carmen on Kik and she came in like a tornado. Ever so vibrant and happy. When talking to her I felt like a part of me already knew her and we became fast friends. Always caring and worried about others before herself. At times I could tell something was wrong but she never let on. Your spirit will live on forever.  I will miss your voice and your contagious laugh. Rest easy my friend.

I never knew you as Carmen, only as Princess Lioness on Monopoly Go or as Texas on Kik.  I only knew you a few months, but I will never forget the conversations we had and the stickers we traded. My condolences to your family and friends. #dontmesswithTexas

Where do I start... You were my twin!! We instantly clicked and became friends, we had so much in common with very little differences, but that's what made our friendship amazing! I don't know how to carry on without you, you were the one who helped me when I was sad. We never got to meet or go shopping like we talked about, but I promise to shop and always think about you!! Every frog, every wrestling, pickle, 
Cowboy (boo, lol), every country music I hear,  will all remind me of you... Kik won't be the same without you, it'll always miss your creative touch, the way you came up with games, or the cards you would make. I appreciate everything you've helped me with and get through. I miss and love you always, your penguin! Thank you for being my bffl!!!

When I frist meet you I was a little scared because of what your brother Marcos had told me. With in the years I got to know you more and more and grew love for you. I miss our conversations and how we joked. You  were such a sweet and loveable person. I going to miss you so much but you will for ever be in my heart... My you rest in peace my beautiful sister -in- law

I worked as reception in the office of Dr. Hector G. Amaya, and every time Ms. Rios came in, she was so friendly, nice, and very sweet. I will remember her animatedly talking about the Cowboys. My deepest sympathies to Mr. Manuel, Mrs. Frances, and all of her loved ones. May she RIP and be rejoicing in GODs HEAVENLY GLORY.

My relationship with Carmen was like mother and son, we had some of the most interesting conversations as well as serious conversations. She was such a a beautiful soul and I know that on her next journey she'll definitely be welcomed with open arms.

Dear Family and Friends,

It is with a heavy heart that I share my deepest condolences on the passing of my beloved cousin, Carmen. As the eldest among us, she held a special place in the Rios family, not only as a cousin but as a guiding light and a cherished presence. 

Carmen’s warmth, wisdom, and love will forever be etched in our hearts. She was a source of strength, kindness, and inspiration, and her memory will continue to live on in the countless lives she touched. (She absolutely loved her family very much.)

In this time of sorrow, may we find comfort in the beautiful moments we shared with her and the love she gave so freely. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who is mourning her loss.

Rest in peace, dear Carmen. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Prima💜

With love and sympathy,
Victorie Soto (Vickie Rios) Hurst, Tx.

MY PERSON - MY BFF, A wonderful loving, compassionate sister, daughter and best friend, YOU  were always there for your family and friends, helping whichever way you could,  You and I had a connection like no other, you always knew when to reach out to me and vise versa, we had our ups and downs in this journey of life  but we always managed to speak to each other with the truth and confront our differences, you were always the BRAVEST one . I know for a while now you had been preparing yourself for this very moment but i was always in denial, I didn’t want to hear it, yet you were ready to say it, you prepared it all. I am glad you are no longer suffering but rejoicing with the Lord, until we see each other again BFF you will be greatly missed,. 🐸 I LOVE YOU MY BEST FRIEND FOREVER 🌹

Meme and Frances, I cannot begin to imagine what you’re going through. As parents, we always believe we will go first. Life is not fair. 
I am praying that your hearts find comfort in knowing that Carmelita will always be remembered and loved. May God Grant you peace and may your sweet daughter rest in the arms of The Lord forever.

Loving hugs,
Liz Poarch
Mom to Vickie, Nate and Jay

It was fun getting together for grandparents day, I  choose this pic  because we were all being silly that day especially Carmen.   Yet she was the one telling us to hurry up and get serious.
