Connie was my very dear friend for over twenty years. Connie was always there to help me through the tough stuff and share the good times. I believe I was able to do much of the same. I miss her, and I miss talking with her. My deepest sympathy to her immediate family and all of those who had the opportunity to share her life.

My deepest sympathy in the loss of Connie. She and I were very good friends in school. I remember her well, and all the fun we had. We were both education majors at PSU, but lost touch with each other. God rest her soul. Mary Bubash Kruse, Gainesville, GA
