This is Carmen and me at a golf tournament in honor of her about five months ago.
Carmen passed away at about 10:20 on Wednesday night. She fought it tooth and nail, but her little body could not handle the fight any longer. I am very proud of her. She has taught me a lot. As I have said earlier, Reed and I are blessed to be her parents. We know we will see her again, and that she will be helping us through this life. We would like to spend Thursday privately, so if you happen to call or stop by we will have someone else here that can help you. I will write again this week to let you know more about her memorial service. We are so grateful to all of you, old friends and new. The simple cards and thoughts to the dinners and gifts and house cleaning and hauling away of my junk, have helped us so much. I hope I can help someone in the ways you all have helped me. I am honored to be all of your friends.
