So sorry for your loss. Dr. was in the delivery room when my father Dr. John Brooke Boyle dropped dead delivering a baby. He was one of the few people who were there to assist in an emergency situation. My father spoke of Dr. many times saying what a fine man he was and physician. I just spoke with him a few years ago at St. Joe's reminding me of his memory of my dad and would never forget that horrible day. Thank you, Dr., for your kind words, may the angels of God lift you up an see your journey back to God and daddy. Sympathy to the Del Carmen family. Cornelia (Mickey) Boyle Cook. God bless.

I remember you dad and uncle as a very kind and caring man. We are sorry for your loss. Remember all that he did with you and for you, and he will live in your heart forever. The sadness you feel today will turn to happy memories in the years to come.

Dr. del Carmen was my first choice as a Pediatric surgeon. He was so kind to the families at St. Joseph Hospital and an excellent surgeon. He established good working relationships with the Pediatric nurses and was highly respected. Condolences to the del Carmen family at this time of tremendous loss.

Such a kind man, excellent doctor and friend of my late father Dr. John Brooke Boyle whom he was with when he died in the delivery room at the old St. Joseph Hospital delivering a baby. Thank you for telling me of my father's last moments and so glad you where there. Rest in God arms. Cornelia (Mickey) Boyle Cook
