Connie and I were High School classmates in Winterset, Iowa. I remember her as someone who was beautiful on the inside and on the outside, and never said an unkind word to anyone or about anyone. Her loss will be felt by all who know her.

I am very surprised to read of Connie's passing. She waved to me the last time I saw her as she was heading to the Computer Lab room at the Senior Center of West Seattle. I first knew Connie when she was our Social Worker and later married Kelly Reid who also was our Social Worker.

Last year she had time so she used our computers and considered enrolling in some of our classes including Art. I also emailed her leads of possible jobs. We started reconnecting on our similar interest on dancing, being single again, working with senior population, etc. Our last words were "we need to get together and have a good talk".

I will miss her and not having "our talk".

My condolences to all her loved ones.

A lovely girl who has a place in my heart always. She was my first puppy-love girlfriend in 6th grade. She visited Austin 5 years ago and I was so pleased to be with her for a few hours-- lunch overlooking Lake Travis. A very happy moment of time that I will never forget.

I feel so fortunate to have known Connie. She was such a beautiful person, warm, real, loving, nurturing, honest, spiritual, and joyful. She enriched my life so much as a good friend and I count her among those people I call family. Always when I think of her, a smile comes to me and a sense of goodness settles in my heart. I will always cherish the many memories that I have of time spent with her.
