I am sorry to see that Connie passed away. Been best friends since 5th grade. Since I moved to Florida, we only sent cards a couple of times per year. We always had a good laugh about the good old days. Barb East Schoeneck

I just heard about Connie's passing and I am so sorry I was unable to come to her service. Connie worked for me for four years at Textileather and she was the kindest hearted women I have ever met. I am sure she is rejoicing with her beloved Jack now and all the fur babies that she had.... I was just thinking of her the other day. Much love to her family.

It was a pleasure to be friends and neighbors of Connie and Jack. My son Matthew enjoyed being her "yard boy" for about 8 years. She was a wonderful woman. We always shared a few moments after church to "catch up". I am certain she is in heaven with Jack. She was a wonderful caregiver to her mother for years and now all of them are enjoying God' richest rewards. We will miss you Connie!

My thoughts and prayers are with Connie's family. It has been a pleasure to know Connie (through her Aunt Dot at Church). She had a very kind disposition and a lovely smile; she was the best greeter at Anderson's hands down!

I will always remember that trip with my Godparents, Connie and Jack, to the Notre Dame football game when I was young. Such a special day with such special Godparents. You will always be in my heart. Say hi to Jack for me and Go Irish :-) I love you both. Love, your Godson Kevin
