the best she could.

food and money for her stricken friend, little thinking
that she would pass away first. However, she was taken
with a stomach trouble that quickly took her away.
Carmelita was so ill that her death was hourly expected,

two women and many friends followed the remains to the
Garcia Cemetery where interment took place.
