Carmela took great pride in telling her friends how educated, successful, and accomplished her children and grandchildren had become. Throughout her life, Carmela spoke the words of the 23^rd Psalm, with one eye on this world and one eye on the next. We love you Carmela, we look forward to seeing you again.
