Happy Heavenly Birthday to the beautiful, talented & wonderful Carmen Silvera.

Carmen achieved so much throughout her life & her career will be remembered forever. Her kindness was evident in her charity work & I am so proud to call myself a fan of her.

Wherever you are Carmen, you are loved, missed & remembered always 💕🎂🎉
