Karmen, you are not gone, you live in the hearts of all the people who lives you have touched. We will miss you but never forget you. We will keep you close , remember your wisdom, your compassion and kindness you shared. We will never forget TO: “MAKE OUR DREAMS BIGGER THAN THE NIGHT”
We miss you but our lives are richer because of you.
Good night sweetheart, I will see you in my dreams.
