Well Mom, we've almost made it a year without you. What a year it has been. You had another beautiful great grand daughter. Donnie had a wonderful year in baseball. The babies name is Julia, but you know that. You kissed her before she was born. The dimples are on her little cheeks to prove it. I can not express to you how very much I miss you. My heart will never be the same. I want to call you and share everything with you. Mama, I love you more than words can ever say. Till we meet again, talk with God, and make sure our children stay safe. I love you, your buddy Connie

I am so sorry to hear about Mama Jean. You know that we have such wonderful memories of her and loved her dearly. So sorry that I couldn't make it for the service but you are all in my thoughts & prayers. Cherish your memories and know that she will always be by your side.

I love this, what a better way for people to see how very special she was and still is in our hearts. Mom and I spent many hours together in the last 6 or 7 years. Especially the last two months. She and I had some very heart felt talks and she said to me Connie, you'll be fine when I'm gone, and I know I will but in the mean time I'm so very lost. I pick the phone up to call her so many times, because just the sound of her voice could calm me down in a second, or to tell her something Madison said or did. She so loved all her kids and her wonderful grandchildren.
Mom, you know how special you are to me and I just want to thank you for all your love and guidence. You have no idea how much influence you had on my life and how much I listened to you. I know your watching over us and all your kids. Please keep them safe and help to make Madison understand why she can't see Jesus to get you back. She says I want to see Jesus so Mi Mi will come home, and then says I need her, I want her. Never fails when I talk with her or see her that she wants to know where Mi Mi is. We tell her your her ANGEL, and you can see and hear her, but she can't see you. Mom, we're doing our best to honor your wishes and find good homes for your pets. Well I could go on for ever, but will end here. I love you more than the world and will miss you so very very much.
Your daughter and buddy, Connie

Rick, Tammy, and my best buddy, Connie----No one needs to tell you how special she was, for you know better than anyone what an angel she was to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her! A long time ago, after we lost our mother, she was like a second mother to me, Karen and Pam,, and we loved her dearly for that. On behalf of the entire McGuire family, please know that we are praying that you will find all the strength and comfort you need to get you through these difficult days. But, oh, what glorious memories we all have to cherish! God Bless you all!

Connie and Family, in your time of grief please think of the words that I wrote.
Looking over photos, something came to mind
Captured in a picture, it's what we leave behind
The human body, with its faults and its age
Taken with a camera, through each of life's stage
But there is something, only memories can see
The spirit of that person, of what they use to be
Their physical body ends, but the spirit carries on
In the spirit world, across the great beyond
As you relive their memory, they know and are near
To hold upon the special bond, of all that you hold dear
There's no restrictions to the spirit, their love is real
In the calmness of your soul, it's them that you can feel
Photos mixed with memories, come alive for you
Two souls join together again, in a bond that's true
Captured by a camera, to help your memory
Of the ones you love, in your photo history
Your soul feels the picture, memories to hold
When the time passes, and they are like gold
Memories to cherish, some can make you laugh
Spirits of a time gone, within a photograph.
Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers, Love the Nations
