Thinking of you...missing you. This year I've had to put on my "big girl panties" more than once. I truly thank you for the courage and strength to do so; and the spirit to forgive... This weekend my sisters are coming into town..God how I wish you could see us now...supposedly grown..still teasing each other..smiling..crying together..united..it's been a crazy year...it hurts bad that you're gone...it feels like just yesterday...so many questions..so much to do...I love you Mommy and i know...

Missing you more each day. Realizing as I get older just how wise you really were and how much very blessed I was just my having you as my Mom.

I miss you Mommy...may the Lord be kind...knowing you are at Peace...
love the Kid

It is hard to believe that 4 years have come and gone without Ma. You are loved amd missed deeply by those that remain. I thank you for the blessing that is Ameerah! She reminds me so much of you- her spirit, her laughter, and her undying love for those around her. While you are not here with us-- I know you are watching over us thinking daily-- oh my what are they getting in to now (giggles).

Filled with Love and Memories...Happy Spring Mom...may your spirit be free...thank you Lord for watching over my Mom....

just the other day, i thought about how MomConnie wouldn't necessarily scold 'the click' for finding some new, fresh mess to get into...instead she would let us talk it over at her table or the den...then casually my mom would later ask me just how us girls got into the mess in the first place...i think i just may use her style of parenting. ;)

I have no words to express the sense of loss that I felt when Ameerah called to inform me of the event to which this book is dedicated. "Apple Head", the apple of my eye, was a blessing from God in my life. Her impact upon our daughter's life as Ameerah was becoming who she is makes me feel twice blessed. Reading the comments of others whose lives Connie touched tells me both my life's great joys are loved by others. Thank you all and may your God always share your journey.

So many postive things to say about Connie. She was very bright, very attractive and very down to earth. I'll always remember her. But, as my mother told me "Never put a question mark where God has put a period."

I remeber when Mom-Connie was invited to a Halloween costume party one year,and she went as the Planters Peanut Man.HAHA... She was always so fun.Not to mention beautiful even as a peanut......
