What a lovely tribute today to a great lady. Connie was a treat to know. Thank you to the Besch family for sharing your mom with all the 'extended' family.

It is so comforting to know that Mom is at peace...and probably reorganizing Heaven! Thanks to everyone for the wonderful messages of remembrance and condolence.

I learned alot from (Sarge) as we affectionately called Connie. She was a terrific lady and will miss her alot. We worked together at Mesa Christian for many years. My sympathy goes out to her family. God has one of His special angels home. Kelly Kelley
