Roy,
I was very saddened to learn of Connie's passing. I met her through VALS and we seemed to hit it off right away. We kept in touch through Christmas cards and whenever I was in the beach area, I would call her. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts.

I first knew Connie when she was president of the Norfolk-Portsmouth Legal Secretaries Association. Our paths crossed various times over the years, usually in connection with association activities. She was a lively, funny, wonderful lady. It is sad for all of us that she is no longer with us. My deepest sympathy to her family and I wish you peace. Linda Ellis Kelley
