    Please forgive me we did not know our dear Mary had gone home first. I do believe they walk in the presence of God. Our deepest sympathy to you all in not having them here. They have been truly missed by our family. We love them so. All our love to all the family, Love Jerry Ed & Family

    Though I know Carman is in a most exquisite place where we will all join him one day, I still know how empty our days will be without his wonderful presence. We love you so. all our love always, Jerry Ed & Family.

    To the Rizzo Family,

    Thanks for sharing Carmen with all of us. He was such a wonderful man and encourager. Always the dapper dresser and a smile as wide as the Golden Gate, Carmen was the ultimate recruiter at the Colombo Club. He had a heart for the Club and an enthusiasm that was contagious.

    We have missed him for years, but now those memories we’ve held in our hearts become all the more special. My deepest sympathy on your loss of a wonderful father and grandfather. A great man!

  4. WE SURE MISSED CARMEN WHEN HE MOVED TO S.CAL BUT FAMILY COMES FIRST. HE WAS THE NICEST MAN I HAVE EVER MET. I WANT TO WISH THE FAMILY MY DEEPEST CON. TILL WE MEET AGAIN YOUR FRIEND JOE

  5. To the Rizzo Family,
    I enjoyed each time that I got to talk with and share his knowledge because Carmen brought so much to the Colombo Club, I looked upon his great work at the club when I became the social chairman. He was a great man and will be missed dearly.
