[Iabs-talk] Carmen

[Araceli Avina]

Dear friends,
I am very saddened today to have to write to you about what we have to 
face now.  I just received news from Kristy Dennis about our beloved 
friend Carmen and how she is doing.  The doctors can't do anything more 
for her because the damage to her brain was too extensive, and the 
family has decided to let her go.  Please call the house to ask about 
the funeral details.  The actual funeral will be held at Jolliett.  
Please call the family for more information at (773) 583-0899.  There 
will also be a memorial service if you can't attend the Jolliett 
services.  Again, please call for details at (773-583-0899.  We're 
losing an awesome friend today, and I'm losing the one who helped me 
get to where I am today and gave me a new family; someone to come home 
to when I felt misunderstood.  Please pray for the family right now so 
they may have strength and courage to do what needs to be done.
