A funny lady, especially at the bowling alley,when she moaned about not getting a decent poker hand. I'll miss her friendship and loyalty, especially when I went through a difficult time of my own last year. May you hit a Royal Flush everytime you bowl upstairs in God's bowling alley with Lou and my dad Nick. Connie, I know it has been difficult for you but keep thinking of all the fun times you two had while bowling on Saturday Nights. You are in my prayers.
