I met Carmen in 1978 while we were working with the State of Florida DOC. We eventually started to work in different jobs but kept in contact. She moved to Texas but when came back to Miami to visit she would call me and we would get together to share our life stories. I don't know what happened but we lost contact. it has been many years since I had seen her. Today I was thinking about her and decided to search the Internet. I was so sad to see this. It has left me so sad for family and daughters. She was such a wonderful, caring person. Smart, sweet, and such a strong work ethic. I value the friendship we had in the early 1980s and wish I would kept in contact with her more often. God bless you.
