Condolence: To Peter and Paul... The Obituary you placed for your Mom was just lovely as was her picture. Both were a credit to her as are both of you and your families. I am sorry for your loss but deeply impressed by your Mothers life and the love she gave to, and received from, her family.

Condolence: Murph was a great mother, wife, aunt, grandmother and friend. As an aunt she was always there in so many ways and for so many years as if we were her own children. As surrogate Mom, nurse, dress maker, and tour director she was always there when we needed her. She rejoiced in our accomplishments and comforted and supported us in our challenges. She loved her family. We will all miss her.

Condolence: You are all blessed to have shared such a rich life with both of your parents. Your mom is so... proud of her family and your service towards others. She truly did her job. We are blessed to have known such a dignified, loving woman. Thank you for sharing her with us. We are so sorry for your loss. Pablo and Pedro, We send our deepest sympathy to you and your families. Love, Mark, Brooke, Margo and Nick

Condolence: Dear Pete and family, Please accept our sympathy at this trying time. Mrs. Escandon must have been a wonderful woman to have raised such outstanding sons. I am sure she as very proud of you! Sincerely, John

Condolence: Dear Paul, Peter and family: May the cherished memories left behind and the love and care of your family and friends bring you comfort in your sorrow. I will miss her, specially our weekly calls, and I know she will be watching us from up above..she's another Angel to watch over the ones left here. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother and sister in law... With all my love, Tia Minerva

Condolence: Kindly accept our deepest heartfelt condolences and prayers. From Giovanni Clarizio and everyone at Clarizio Music Studio.

Condolence: What a pleasure and an honor it was to know and spend time with this magnificent woman. We fondly remember times spent at her home in Oakhurst steeped in the mingling fragrences of olive oil and garlic as she effortlessly pulled together yet another wonderful meal for a table full of family and guests. Kathy loves to recall a private knitting lesson she recieved after asking for a pattern to the baby booties Mari Carmen use to give out as gifts. Of course there was no written pattern but Mari Carmen was all too happy to give her a demonstration and the bootie to take home as a reference. We will always remember the light in her eyes, her wonderful sense of humor, her sincere interest in us and our family and her warm generous nature. She will be greatly missed and it is hard to imagine the world without her in it. Our deepest sympathies to Pedro and Paul and to their families on the loss of their beloved mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Condolence: We will miss Mari Carmen (aka "Murph"). Bern was lucky to find her, and we were all lucky to have her as our aunt, master designer/seamstress, and travel guide extraordinaire--yes, Mari Carmen did it all, with great joy and spirit.
