KATHY AND KENNY . . . HOW MUCH WE LOVED CARMEL AND HER ZEST FOR LIFE. HER WIT, HUMOR AND KINDNESS ALWAYS MADE US FEEL PART OF YOUR FAMILY. SHE AND PHIL WERE ALWAYS AN INSPIRATION TO AVIN AND I ABOUT WHAT A MARRIAGE SHOULD BE. WE LOVE YOU ALL AND TRULY SHARE YOUR LOSS. JANE
May G-d forgive her sins and grant her Paradise. She will be missed by all whose lives she touched. She was a excellent cook and baker and always made thiings for you with a smile and loved entertaining; my dad and I have enjoyed many meals with her at home and will miss talking and watching her smile as she discussed food or her family and how much she loved volunteering and her beautiful spirit. Phil, I remember many days of you jumping up and down anytime she asked you to do anything no matter what ttime it was that she asked. You took great care of her and your dad and I can only hope that my child will be there for me like you were for her…G-d Bless you all. May G-d help you in time to deal with her passing and missing her; she’s no longer suffering and is with G-d and your father now, may she rest in peace.
Our sincere condolences to Carmel’s family. I remember her laughter at the Turchan Family reuinion last year, she had such a good time. She was a special lady that my mom and dad talked about frequently.
I believe that God will comfort all of her loved ones at this difficult time.
