Carmelita was so warm and loving. I first met her at Cocoa's and was drawn to her by her gorgeous smile, lilting laughter and sweet nature. I called her friend first, and more recently saw her professionally. I miss both the friend and the physician and can only begin to imagine how much she is missed by her family, especially Lane. My deepest sympathies to you.

We became close friends very quickly. She was a wonderful doctor who cared so much for her patients. She was a beautiful loving friend...so full of life, love and happiness. She will be missed tremendously. Lane, she loved you with all she was...you were the light of her life...her soul mate. Much love to you my friend!
