Although this is a time of great sorrow, it is also a time for rejoicing while recalling all the wonderful memories we have of Connie. When I think of Connie, my thoughts are of a true lady who was kind and compassionate. Family meant everything to her. She had the rare talent of making you feel at ease and important when you spoke with her. Although our meetings were too few and far between, there was always a comrortable, easy feeling when we would meet at family functions. Thinking of Connie reminds me of Aunt Blanche too. They shared many similar nurturing traits. I hope that everyone can find peace and comfort in the fact that Connie’s memory is so full of caring and positive feelings. Sincerely,
Linda C. White
