To aunt Carmen who will ever stay in my :blue_heart:. Always welcoming family over with open arms. And who was so comical. My wife told me they were at a party ,some what like a gathering for the women, and aunt Carmen ask for coffee,the reply was sorry no coffee. So aunt Carmen says what no coffee ? I never heard of such a thing. And said girls lets. Blow this joint. And find a real party. It sounds like something aunt Carmen would say. Love you tia nephew Ruben. Gutierrez..

We met Carmen about 11 years ago through a favor she volunteered to do for a friend of ours. She became our friend also. We enjoyed her company and her phone calls. She was a genuine caring person who made a constant effort in continuing our friendship throughout the years. We will miss her! May she Rest in Peace.
Sincerely,
Chris & Bob Salter
