Connie was the first face i seen at IAF. First face I seen every morning. The first person everyone ran to. She ran that school like all those students were her children. That was pure love. To her IAF was not just a job, it was family. Even though i didnt remain there our friendship lasted. You will be missed. Prayers to John and the family.

We all have been blessed to travel the road of life with a friend, and although our ways have now parted, I know that somewhere around the next bend we will once more meet again.
