Connie,
I always appreciated the efficiency and humor you gave the job while at Charlotte Middle School. We shared so much about life and events. I already miss that friendly personality.

My prayers for Connie's family. I worked closely with Connie at Charlotte and we shared many a laugh and prank! Connie always made even the most mundane day fun. She had such a sparkling personality. Now the stars at night are her rhinestones and she is smiling down at her loving family.

The words, "you were one of a kind" have been said many times but oh so very true. We met at Charlotte when we both worked there and stayed in touch throughout. So many laughs and now so many tears. You gave it your best and a heck of a fight but God had higher plans for you. My very deepest sympathies to your family. Rest in peace my friend

Connie and I go back to when we were little kids. She was helpful in helping me get my job at Dun and Bradstreet where she was employed. So many memories. I am very sad. She is gone too soon! Angela (Cavalier) Martin.

Brock Family-
I first met Mrs. Brock in 1977. Joe and I became friends in 2nd grade we have been friends ever since. I know firsthand how much she loved her family and how much her family loved her. Mrs. Brock gradually became Connie to me and many of Joes friends. “I'm too young to be called Mrs. Brock, you can call me Connie.” So Connie it was! She may have been the birth mother to Joe and Tina but she provided so many of us with her motherly advice. What I loved most about Connie is that she always shared her thoughts and opinions in an honest and funny way. She had the ability to take an uncomfortable situation or topic, especially in our teenage years and speak to us in way that we all could relate to without ever making you feel as if you were being told what to do, but her advice was sincere and honest, and most importantly right.
She was a “cool mom” a “funny mom” and she will be missed by many, but certainly never forgotten.
I will forever remember her calling out for “Albert” from the kitchen most times I was at their house, I literally can here it now.
Connie may you be at peace knowing you have lived a beautiful life that had purpose and meaning beyond your earthly years.
Love

Albert so sorry for you lost I know and understand your pain at this time as I lost my sister at 49 with the same thing as Connie which is a long and hard battle. I know you will be strong through this pain and carry your children and grandchildren. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Your friend Frank Gianino.

Connie and I go back a long way. She loved life and life loved her back. Something will always be missing from the lives of her family and friends without her! May her family find comfort in all the "loving Memories" she left as her final gift.
