Carmen had a special aura about her. She always had a positive attitude and expressed that attitude in everything that she did. She was amazing how she balanced family, work, and outside activities in the community. She will be missed by all of her friends especially the smile she had for everyone she met.

Dear Carmen's Family, Words are never adequate in moments like these. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. I will always remember Carmen for her simple, pleasant & calm, caring, loving and sharing attitude. On top of all I learnt a lot from her leadership qualities. She was supportive in every step of my career and provided guidance. May the love of your family & Carmen's memories comfort you in the days ahead.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

There are no words to express my sympathies to your entire family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Carmen was a leader, a mentor, and a friend...and she is gone way too soon. Carmen was a person you wanted in your corner when things weren't going to plan or when something stood in your way. When Carmen believed in you, she had your back and would support you; she would take you under her wing and help you through the tough times. She had this way about her that allowed her to remain calm and to persevere no matter what. Carmen will be greatly missed by many whose paths have crossed hers through the years - here at MillerCoors and beyond. I have forever been impacted by this amazing, strong, beautiful woman. I envision her looking upon all of you with her wonderful, infectious smile. Godspeed, my friend...until we meet again....

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Carmen will be missed by many people in many ways. I will always remember her as a person who loved life so much that it could not be hidden in the mire of everyday life.
Carmen's faith shined from deep in her soul.
After the tears have dried and the goodbyes have been said, all we have to hold onto are the happy memories that we’ve shared with our loved ones who have passed, this is what keeps them alive in our hearts and in our minds, and they will continue to live on.
As Paul said in 2 Corinthians, God will provide a new body for all His believers.
I hope you can find peace In this painful time

Dear Carmen - thank you for all the unconditional love and support. My heart hurts so bad knowing I should've called more...should've visited...I'm fighting back the tears as I know you wouldn't want me to cry. I miss you bad already but I know you are with the Lord wearing the biggest crown . I wouldn't be where I am if it had not been for you believing in me. You made sure I along with so many others were successful. You can rest now- no more pain, no more sickness - your legacy will live forever because your dash was filled with so much love. I love you and will never forget you! Lord please bless the Giles family and give them strength. I hope to live as you did and hug you again in heaven.

Dear George and Family,
We were so very sorry to hear of your great loss. Your sorrow is shared by everyone that knew and loved Carmen. A kind and gracious neighbor, Carmen always opened her heart and home to family and friends. I will always cherish the memory of that beautiful summer day in your backyard when the two of you renewed your wedding vows - a lovingly happy day. Thoughts of which will always make me smile. . .

As a Miller employee, my memory of Carmen was her smile and friendliness every time you meet her. She never ceased to exemplify what we all should show and that is "Love" in spite of status. Carmen will be sorely missed!
