Carmen and Mary and I were friends. She let us mess up her kitchen many times as we experimented with cooking, she introduced me to chocolate covered ants and she doctored up a bad scrape on my knee from a bike accident. (I still have the scar.) She was always very nice to me. I'm sorry for your loss, your family will be in my prayers. God Bless you, Gina
