Dearest Carmel,



Girl, you know you always had a bundle of spunk, you never let anything get the best of you. You were like the energizer battery, you kept going, going and going etc.

Remember we use to pray together and you use to always read your Bible and take it wherever you went. You have had so many obstacles, but God gave you enduring power, until he said enough is enough. You always had jokes and kept us laughing. You were loved for who you were and we will truly miss you.



Love Your Co-worker, (Sheriff Dept.)

Dearest Carmel,



I know that right about now, you're overwhelmed by God's presence and the beauty of His kingdom, and you're like a kid in a candy store just full of ideas on what you're going to paint first; but I'm going to miss your childlike enthusiasm for wanting beauty, peace, and fairness in this sometimes grubby world.



I'll being seeing you in the name of Jesus our Lord and Savior.



Love, Maryalice Allen
