Sister Carmen was a beautiful sister in the Lord. For many many years she supported and followed my wonderful late father’s ministry Pastor Ben Martinez of Grace Tabernacle Church. Although it has been years I will always remember her smile when she would walk into the church. Sister was always generous and helpful with fundraising and always donated delicious items for bake sales etc. she was kind, caring and set a wonderful example for others as a faithful and loving Christian woman. She is sitting at the throne of God as she earned her crown in heaven. I know she will be missed by many. Our condolences to all the family.
Sister Nancy & Brother John Vigil
And all the Martinez Family
