Carol Constance Boyer

Thank you, dear Connie, for being a wonderful inspiration to all us Barnhisel descendants. Your research and writings are gifts to us and to many future Barnhisels.

Connie will be missed.. I wrote her regarding our shared interest in genealogy and found a very warm and funny woman. I offer my condolences to Max and her family, she will be missed.

As a long time member of the Hisel Genealogy Group, I know my family appreciates all of the hard work Connie did on researching our ancestors. She was an inspiration to me. My condolences and sympathy go out to her family. I am so sorry I never met her in person but do have many letters she wrote me over the years and I will treasure them.

We had the good fortune to meet and talk with Connie in 1986. What a wonderful person she was. Prior to that we knew Connie by her genealogy work and as a member of the Hisel Society. She will be missed by many.

A newer member of the Hisle/Hysell Genealogy Group and I am sure I will benefit greatly from the years of work Mrs. Boyer did on the family research. Condolances to the family.

Connie was a long time member of our Hisle-Hysell Genealogy group and the final authority on our ancestors. In my role as the editor of our family newsletter, she was an inspiration and genealogy confidant to me for many, many years. She will be deeply mourned and profoundly missed as a true friend and fellow genealogist.

My deepest sympathy to Max and the family. I first learned about Connie when starting family history research of Montgomery County, Ohio families. It seemed we shared some of the same surnames but I never learned the connection. I picked her brain some, but wish I had known her better. She had lots to share and teach.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Death Is Nothing At All

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way that you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always...
