Deepest sympathy to Tony and family on your loss of Carmel. I first met Carmel when she worked in Coles supermarket . She served me many times at the checkout. Then I got to know her more at church and then when I delivered Holy Communion to her and Tony at Mercy Place. She was a kind and gracious lady.
