Our dear precious friend, Carmen, was such a joy to be around. We met she and Than when we became involved in their Amway business in the early 1980’s. We shared many good times together, traveling many different places, as well as in each other’s homes. The room always lit up when Carmen entered. As the years went by and our interactions became more spread out, we always treasured our time together and could always pick right up where we left off. My heart breaks for her beloved Than, David, Jason, Brandon and Rustin, whom she adored, as well as her beautiful grandchildren, as you move forward and adjust for your ‘new normal’. Please know each of you are in our thoughts and prayers. We so love our Richburg family! â¤ï¸Â

I was blessed to meet Carmen and Ruth. I could feel the love these two had for each other every single time I saw them together. My heart is with Ruth and the family. I know no sweeter soul that has soared toward heaven.
