My heart felt condolences to Doña Carmen's family. I met ( Yiya ) Carmen, 29 years ago when I first moved to West Chester. She baby sat my daughters for several years before they started school. She took me and my my family under her wing like family. She became a very special lady in my life, like a second mother and always cared for me like a daughter, and loved my daughters and grandchildren, like her own. My heart ❤️ was so  sadden when I received the call, to hear that she had passed. I will truly miss her phone calls that I received daily. I spent many days with her at the nursing home and on the phone which I will never forget. She is no longer suffering because as my sister in Christ, I know she is in the hands of the Lord! Rest in Peace my dear friend and second mother.
