Carmen Dedeaux
Because she loves it down by the water, Carmen Dedeaux sat here one afternoon in August 2005, marveling at how calm the Gulf of Mexico can be. She was comfortable. She often spent summer nights at the beach, sitting on the seawall. She knew that the calm wouldn’t last because the Gulf was preparing to fuel one of the hurricanes that work their way past Cuba, turn in the wrong direction, and suck tremendous amounts of energy from the warm surface waters. They thunder in the Gulf for days, growing bigger and bigger, then slam into the shoreline, sometimes just making a mess, sometimes wrecking everything in their way, and sometimes making a disaster.

I’m so proud of Carmen. I know the Mississippi Gulf Coast is not spoken of that often in reference to Hurricane Katrina, but Carmen’s experience is one that should be shared to everyone. I’m so proud of you, Carmen. May God continue to bless you and your family and may you continue to be a blessing to others!
I was inspired to read Carmen’s amazing story, told so well by Charles Madigan. She has lived through so much and her strength came through in DESTINY CALLING.
Hey Carman, I’m so very proud of you. You are a beauitful strong black woman that held her head up high. I know it was Gods strentgh and plan to keep you safe.
Love you Girlfriend.
