Carmen Rivera Obituary

Wearing Many Hats

On the night after the collapse of the twin towers, a co-worker of Carmen A. Rivera called her husband at the couple's Orange County, N.Y., home and left a message saying that the two women had been heading down the stairs from the 96th floor of 2 World Trade Center together but lost each other. "She was O.K.," the co-worker said. "She's alive somewhere."

Luis Rivera, a circulation manager for The New York Times, clung to that thought more than two weeks after the tragedy, and continued putting up posters and checking hospitals long after most others had resigned themselves to the loss of a loved one. Mrs. Rivera, 33, an assistant vice president for Fiduciary Trust Company International, worked full time and raised three children, but also found time for the gym and for night classes twice a week to get a master's degree in business, her husband said.

The best mother, an inspirational friend, the ultimate woman, Mr. Rivera said, his wife was also a survivor. After the first plane hit, he said, she called him as she made her way down and told him she had left her purse behind but had grabbed a gold rosary her mother gave her.

"I know she made it out," he said. "She's out there with amnesia or something."

Robert, I lost my Big Handsome Lorenzo four years and nine months ago. His gentle and playful demeanor were completely opposite to his large stature. It´s amazing how much of an impact he made on me in such a short time. My Big Handsome Lorenzo, I love and miss You forever.

Barb, since I saw you last, seven years have gone by. It´s almost unbelievable that so much time has sped by. So many memories of us spending time together with our pups and just hanging out being silly or watching UFO videos, often rifle through my brain. You are always in my thoughts. I spoke with Bob Corry today and he sent me a photo of you. I´ll post it with this entry. I love and miss you forever, Barb. Barry

Robert, we lost our Beautiful Joey eight years ago today. It truly baffles my mind that so many years have gone by since losing him. I´m literally shaking my head as I type and think about it. I adopted Joey when he was only five months and took care of him for seventeen years. He was the first pup that I adopted and I fell for him the moment I met him. My love for him only grew as the years went by. I don´t believe that I could love anyone more than I love him. My Beautiful Joey, I Love and Miss You Forever.

I miss sharing time with you and our pups. It took me quite a while, but I adopted a five-year old pup named Leelah. She´s been with me now for almost two years. You would like her and she def would like you. I´m pretty sure she´d jump on your chair and sit with you, or try to take the entire chair like she does mine. You´ll never know how much I love and miss you, Barb. Your friendship and kindness mean everything. Barry

Robert, three years and four months have gone by since we lost our Beautiful Sweet Love Bobby. I recently watched a couple videos of him and they brought back a mix of emotions; however, I was able to watch some of them. Bobby tore into my soul and became a permanent part of it. My heart still aches. My Beautiful Sweet Love Bobby, I Love and Miss You Forever. I Love You, Robert and My Mom and My Joey and My Bobby and all of our Loves, Forever. I am Eternally Yours, Barry

Robert, since I lost my Handsome Lorenzo, three years and eight months have gone by. He came to me when I really needed him. It wasn’t planned. I met Lorenzo at my friend Barb’s house. I kept going back and forth in my mind whether or not I wanted him, however, it was already too late. A dog of his size and stature were new to me and that was my uncertainty. But I’d fallen for him and wanted to take care of him. My Big Beautiful Lorenzo, I love and miss You forever. I Love You Robert and My Mom and My Joey and My Bobby and all of our Loves, forever. I am Eternally Yours, Barry

I don’t believe a day goes by that I don’t think of you. We shared a lot of interesting times. In fact, just today I thought how well we got along and our silly banter whenever we hung out. I miss you more than you will ever know. I love and miss you forever, Barb. Barry

Robert, we lost our Beautiful Joey seven years and one month ago. When he left, he took most of my soul with him. I always believed that Joey was photogenic, so I took every opportunity to snap a picture of him. As I say for the photos of all our other boys, I’m grateful to have them. They take me back to times that bring me comfort. I Love and Miss You Forever, My Beautiful Joey. I Love You Robert and My Mom and My Joey and My Bobby and all of our Beautiful Loves, Forever.

Robert, we lost our Beautiful Sweet Love Bobby three years and one month ago. The painful memories of losing him are still with me up to now and I know they will remain. He was an integral part of my existence and for that, I´m thankful. And I´m also glad to have his photos as well. Although Bobby often turned his head away when I attempted to take his picture, I captured a fair number of photos. This way I still get to see his face and especially his floppy ears, little nose and big brown eyes, which I adored. I hope he knew how important he was to me. Forever, My Bobby. I Love You Robert and My Mom and My Joey and My Bobby and all of our Loves, Forever. I am Eternally Yours, Barry

Robert, three years and five months have gone by since losing My Big Handsome Lorenzo. His coat color variations and the shape of his face caught my attention. I met Lorenzo when my friend Barb fostered him and his unique traits really appealed to me, probably because I wasn’t used to the Collie breed. As I’ve said before, we took to each other pretty quickly and then adopted each other. I wish we had more time together though, but I’m grateful for what we had. I Love and Miss You Forever Lorenzo, My Big Handsome Boy. I Love You Robert and My Mom and My Joey and My Bobby and all of our Loves, Forever. I am Eternally Yours. Barry

Robert, it’s now seven years since we lost our Beautiful Joey. I often say this, but time seems to speed by and then another anniversary is here. Joey had certain unforgettable behaviors that were unique to him and they often pop into my head. One of my favorites, was he often wanted me to hold his hands and I had to stop whatever I was doing. He was the most beautiful being I have ever known and I am forever grateful that we were part of each other’s lives. I Love and Miss You Forever, My Beautiful Joey.

Robert, today is the third anniversary since losing our Beautiful Sweet Love Bobby. Losing him was another one of the most painful events of my life and my tears flowed for an eternity it seemed. Bobby occupied the last part of my soul. Perhaps I shall never understand why my losses affect me this way and, at this point in life, it doesn’t matter. I miss him to no end. I am forever grateful to have shared my life with such amazing beings and my words could never convey how much they enriched me. Bobby, I Miss You My Beautiful Love.

Joey was the most amazing being that I have ever known and he didn’t have to do anything, other than just be himself. In this life, I only hope he knew how significant he was to me.

Joey was small and thin when we first met, but he was absolutely beautiful. He and Russell got along pretty quickly after I brought him home. And Joey grew into the most beautiful being I have ever known. I couldn’t love him any more than I already have.

Robert, six years and seven months have gone by since we lost our Beautiful Joey. I still remember how he looked the first time I saw him. It was love at first sight. I took my time to make a decision, but I knew Joey was mine and I was his. When we first met, he was underweight, had brown spots on his ears and one on his back, and was also really playful. The rest is history. Meeting Joey was one of the absolute best parts of this life. I miss him to no end. I’m glad each day for his memories and his photos. I Miss You more than words, My Beautiful Joey. I Love You Robert and My Mom and My Joey and My Bobby and all of our Beautiful Loves, Forever. I am Eternally Yours. Barry

Barb, I posted this on Robert Kopler's Guest Book, 20240201, for Bobby and wanted to add it to your Guest Book. Bobby and I thank you for everything. I love and miss you. Barry


Robert, two years and three months ago, we lost our Beautiful Sweet Love, Bobby. What’s left of my heart, still crumbles when I think about him. Taking care of another living being for close to two decades, comes with its own challenges, but the love and fulfillment I gained far outweighs everything else. Losing Bobby broke me. I hope he knew how much I adored him and that I would do anything for him. My Beautiful Sweet Love Bobby, I Love and Miss You more than You will ever know. I Love You Robert and My Mom and My Joey and My Bobby and all of our Loves, Forever. I am Eternally Yours, Barry

Robert, I lost my Big Handsome Lorenzo, two years and seven months ago. He has been popping up in my mind and his photos catch me when I least expect it. It is the same with everyone I love and lost. My Big Beautiful Lorenzo, I Love and Miss You Forever. I Love You Robert and My Mom and My Joey and My Bobby and all of our Loves, forever. I am Eternally Yours, Barry

Barb, another new year is here. Memories and reminders keep you in my mind and I’m really glad for that. I will never stop wishing that things had turned out differently. We got along far better than I had imagined. I love and miss you forever, Barb. Barry
