Connie was a special lady and a friend for years. We met while typing for doctors and continued with a friendship and fun times for many years. I was so fortunate for her to bring her beloved Mustang to my house and took me for a wonderful ride around the area. We had great gatherings at our homes and at restaurants - always with lots of
laughter!! Joe and Family, please know that she was loved and she will be missed.
Thoughts and Prayers, Kay Wilhelm.

I just heard about Connie. What great memories I have of Connie. We shared many softball moments. My deepest sympathy to the entire family from me and my children. "Those we love can never be more than a thought away, for as long as there's a memory they live in our hearts to stay."
