She wore this color at her sweet sixteen party (lavender)…She was part of the Stinkers( all female club) back n Spanish Harlem 👮🏽♂️👀👮🏽♂️
I met Carmen ( Gypsy) as I knew her. Met her 1968 , east side , New York It was Victoria third birthday party. My older sister (Maria) who brought me there that day in 1968. I met a friend for life that day. She was smarter than me but never made me feel different. In fact , we became soul mates..We experienced museums, Libraries…went or dances. Practiced Dancing at her house at 2075 third ave….we had an interesting life. I became a Police officer in New York, she left for the service. The rest is written in history….
I knew Carmen to be passionate about her family and friends. On one of our trips back from her doctors appointment she was talking enthusiastically about family and friends. I was so caught up in her stories that our carpool lane had us heading towards the Tacoma bridge. It took me a bit to get turned around but we laughed about it the whole way back to the freeway. I may not have known her for very long but she made an impression on me. I feel honored that I was chosen to be her friend.May ¿Puedo verte en el cielo
No es él no élla el que me lleva …
Es mi vida que en su vida palpita.
Es la llamada tibia de mi alma,
que se ha ido a cantar entre sus rimas.
Es la inquietud de viaje de mi espíritu
que ha encontrado en su rumbo eterna vía.

Carmen brought light, wisdom and kindness to all who knew her. She lived a life that taught others to appreciate family, health and sharing. Although she experienced pain in the last years of her life, she always lived her life with the deepest connection between herself and the people who she loved. In the Jewish tradition it is said that we actually die twice. The first time we die is when the breath no longer comes from our lungs. The second time we die is when our name is no longer spoken. It is clear that Carmen will never die because her name and memory will always be with us. She is our teacher, our family member and our role model for how to live a very good life.
My Angel,
Thank you for every moment you let your light shine on me. For all the countless nights you stayed awake just to listen when my heart was heavy and my spirit was breaking. Thank you for being the first soul in my life to truly see me without judgment, without force, just pure understanding. You were my safe place, my quiet miracle.
Since you left, nothing feels the same. My soul carries an ache that words can barely touch. Even music the thing that once healed me doesn’t hold the same magic without you here to share it with. Every day feels like a fight, but I push forward because I know you’d want us to stay strong. You showed us what it means to be a warrior, and that strength is etched into me because of you.
As I write this, my tears fall heavy, but they are laced with gratitude. Gratitude for the way you loved me, for the way you saw me when I needed it most. I love you endlessly to infinity, to the moon and back, and beyond what words can measure.
Please, bendiciones, keep watching over us. My Angel, forever and always.
My Dearest Sweet Love,
I am so sorry it has taken me so long to complete your obituary. The magnitude of losing you left me broken and for a long time left me unable to wrap my brain around losing you.
In addition, how in the world do you find the words to describe the most phenomenal human-being one has ever known.
I know! We love you Mamita. We miss & think of you everyday.
Thank you for being the Best Sister, Soulmate, BFF, Confidant, Comadre, Complaint Dept, Consiglieri, Guiding Light, the Baddest OG and Role Model a sister could ever have. I will see you on the other side. Dulces sueños Amor.
I am so grateful to have had you in my life. You are a beautiful soul ❤️
