I am still in shock after hearing of your loss. However, it's not a loss but a gain, for anyone who knew Connie because she was always a 'LIGHT' and JOY comes with light. Therefore, we all gained good memories no matter how short or how long we've known her. Connie had a smile everytime I saw her & it made me feel positive energy. I'm rejoicing in my spirit because Connie is but an ANGEL who will always be in the hearts of those who love her & all she has touched in her lifetime. God gave her an assignment & she has completed it. Well done . . .
To God Be The Glory . . .!
May God Bless & Keep You All!!
