    Our deepest condolences to Mary, Tony, Charlie and Ann-Marie and their families on the sad loss of your sister Carmen and aunt.
    She will always be remembered.

    Love from your cousin Josie, Joe and family.

    God has not promised sun without rain,
    Joy without sorrow,
    peace without pain.
    But God had promised strength for the day,
    Rest for the labour,
    Grace for the trials,
    Help from above,
    Unfailing sympathy and undying love.

  11. Such sad news to hear. I’ve know Carmen since primary school days so over 50 years. She’s always been a lovely person with no bad words to say. I’ve also had the pleasure of serving her in my shop for decades. A true Moe lady always supporting her own town and its residents. She will be sadly missed by so many 😢
