I just learned about Carm's passing and wanted to express my love and sympathy to her family. I've known Carm as her chiropractor and friend for many years and I will truly miss her warm and generous spirit! She was much loved and the people who knew her were very blessed! Rest in Peace, dear Carm.

I know where she is now. I know where she is now. I don't say that flippantly or with wishful thinking. She's with Jesus now.She's there now not because she earned it, or did such great things in her life to deserve it. She's there now because back some years ago she realized she could never earn or deserve heaven. So she stopped trying and asked Jesus to take over her life. She's there now only because of what He did on the cross to pay for her sins. And what we all saw after that was her letting Him live through her. That's what God wants for all of us to do. Come to our end and realize we don't deserve, or could ever work our way there,and let Him have control. God's first words to Adam & Eve after they ate the fruit, when they were hiding from Him, were "Where are you? "WHERE ARE YOU" He's asking now.

Mom loved the wild life in the back yard, and we were blessed to have three red tail squirrels come around and amuse us with thier incessant chattering and antics .......................
I have a video to share of the three litte monsters, and I know mom appreciatd God's wonderful creatures.
She also knew that, around here, we have mostly grey squirrels, so the visits from the smaller red tails was a special treat that God knew Camen would enjoy............
It is with great sadness we say good bye to Mom, but we also celebrate the joy she brougt to so many here
and rest confident that Mom has an eternal home with her Lord. See you soon honey, love you always sweety.............mark

A remarkably humble, gentle, generous and loving friend has been called home~ After a life here on earth of caring and sincerity~ after a time of contagious joy and selflessness~ Having decacdes ago cooled my head and warmed my troubled heart, wiped away my tears, rescued me and loved me, Carmen is forever~ I am so blessed with having had the opportunity to speak with my precious friend over the past few months~ I said in one of our last phone conversations that I wished I could give her a hug~ Carmen told me to put my arms around myself and she would do the same and squeeze~ She would think ofme and I would think of her~ One of the reasons I sing is because of my dear Carmen~ Today I stand on my back porch facing towards Scotia NY and I sing from my heart loudly clearly with all the love that is within me~ Peace be the journey

When mom & dad would come to Georgia it was the deer hunting season. Scot my son-in-law would usually get a couple or 5 or 6 deer. We'd spend several hours cleaning and wrapping the deer for the freezer. Mom and I would clean and get the hair off the deer cuts and wrap them and into the freezer. Paul would cook the deer meat and it was yummy! Dad would never eat the deer meat and he sure was missing out on the great taste. But to each his own. I will miss mom so much. I knew mom 27 years and learned so much from her. She was the best mother-in-law a person could have!

There was a time when Carmen & Phill would drive to Georgia every year for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with the GA grandkids. I think they did that about 6 or 7 times. It was a fun time had by all. Me and mom would talk for hours about everything in the world. It was great! Dad would watch TV and sit in the recliner. He had fun just sitting there. He'd have one of the grandkids sit on his lap, usually Jeremiah who was about 4 or 5 years old. It was a very grand time for me and I'm sure Carmen had the same feeling. We loved each other so much. I will miss her terribly!

They were nice enough ( loved us enough ) and had enough patience to pick my brother Steve and myself up at our house in Rotterdam and bring us to Linton High School and teach us how to play tennis , which changed both of our lives. Growing up we became like one family with Aunt Carm at her many houses and becoming like brothers with Danny and Paul. In spite of the trouble we would get into !! :)

Riding in your Pontiac
We were driving in your Pontiac. I don't remember the year. I do remember the emblem of the Indian on the steering wheel. I asked, "Who is that?" You said, "That is Pontiac. The Indian." I said, "Is that his name?" You said, "Yep! And Schenectady was the name of the Indian our town was named after." you said. "Just a side note, Ha Ha!" You, Danny and me were driving along. I don't know who was in the back seat or if we were all in the front seat. I think we were in both. I remember us bouncing around all the time. Back then we didn't have seatbelts so we were always bouncing around in the front and the back seats. The seats in the front were so big and we were so little I can't imagine we would stay way back there in the back seat. But I can remember us driving. Driving, driving, driving. I remember we were in the country and there were no houses or buildings only windy roads. The roads were narrow and they were winding and turning. The hills were all around us. We were in the Heldeberg Mtns. And you kept going. I noticed we were not driving home, we were not driving over to Aunt Clo's house, we were just driving. And when I realized this I asked you in fear, "Where are we?" You said, "I don't know." I asked, "Where are we going?" You said, "We aren't going anywhere. We are going where the car is taking us. We are going where Pontiac wants to go." And then you took a left turn, drove for a little while straight, and then you took another left and then a right and drove for what seemed like hours like that. I got scared. I asked, " Are we lost, Ma?" You saw that I was afraid. You said, " Don't be afraid, we are not lost. We will find our way home. Jesus will help us." You must have known I was scared but you were so confident and that made me feel better because I knew that you would keep us safe no matter what. We were in your car and you were my Mom and that was enough for me to trust you. So I did. We had a great time driving. We had so much fun.
Thank you for bringing us on that great adventure. You were the one, Ma that ignited the flame in my soul for adventure and the yearning for the one who has made me for adventure. Thank you.
