Christopher, Jamie and Family, So sorry to hear of Carmen's passing. We loved meeting up with her on summer vacation and playing Bingo with her Chris and Sister Susan. What an Amazing Talented Women!! I am sure the music in Heaven is sweeter and even more amazing with Carmen flying and singing with the Angels.
