To the Benitez family and friends, I am saddened at the loss of your Carmin. I worked with her for many years at Aps. This was back in the day when she was so active, dancing the nights away with Oscar. She always looked so nice and fashionable, a real beautiful lady. Most of all I remember how she loved her savior Jesus Christ and her family. She was a very special lady. May you rest in peace dear Carmin.

Belen, Mary Johhny and Steven,
I am so sorry for your loss.. Your Mom and Dad were the first to make me feel welcomed when I first moved to Arizona after marrying their nephew. Your family made me feel loved and I will miss your Mom. Always in my prayers with love.
