I remember the year Helen , Don, Connie and Carole lived in Montgomery. We all had so much fun with them that year. It had to be in the early to mid 1960's. It was so good to be close to some of Pawpaw. Stacey's family. I remember a poem I had learned in kindergarten that my little sister Lisa kept repeating (although not quite correctly since she was only about 3) that Connie and Helen thought was do cute about Mr. Turkey (it was a Thanksgiving poem) and they made her say it over and over. Don taught me how to ride a two wheel bike. ( My dad taught me but I would never let go of him). Somehow I let go and did it by myself when Don was teaching me.
I also remember when Connie went to Hawaii to College.,I thought that was the neatest thing, someone going to college in Hawaii. I had never known anyone who had even been to Hawaii. (You know it had not been a state too long then).
One more memory of Connie was when she came to see us after she graduated and she had learned to read palms. She read all our palms. She couldn't find where my lifeline ended so she said I would live forever.
Even though we spell our names differently I remember how excited I was that we had the same name Aimee.
I remember too when I came and visited with y'all when you lived in Virginia. Y'all had me to eat and took me to Arlington to see Don and Helen's graves. We went to Carole's house and had so much fun.

In my mind's eye I can still see you, Aimee, and your mom at the wardrobe cabinet in the pod area at Willow Springs. Your mom so enjoyed being around you, and her love of teaching was evident every day. I am so glad that Morgan had your mother for her teacher. Connie and I also spent some interesting times together when she was involved with special education as the times changed and brought about more inclusion. She never missed a step! Have thought of her often and have enjoyed her animal postings on Facebook. She will be missed by all that she touched.

We were being divided into groups for a project in elementary school and I was switched from my original group to a new one. I distinctly remember Mrs. Gunn emphatically saying, "Scott is going to take over this group because he is a leader." It seems like nothing, but it inspired my confidence then and does even to this day. You can never underestimate the power of someone believing in you. She was a lovely woman who is gone way too soon, but may she rest in peace. All my best to the Gunn family.

I am going to miss Connie so much. Aimee, your dad is as lucky to have you as a daughter as you are to have him as a father. I hope he looks at you and is reminded of how caring, fun and hilarious your mom was; you remind me so much of her and I mean that as the best compliment. She was honestly one of the most amazing people I've ever been lucky enough to meet. In one way, it makes me sad to know that Conor will no longer be able to talk to her and get her heartfelt advice growing up, but at the same time, I know he will look up and talk to her when he feels the urge and knowing she is listening will be enough. I love you all so much and am here for you all through these hard times. Connie was an amazing mother, grandmother, wife, cook, sewer, jokester and friend and she will be greatly missed. Hang in there.
XOXO,
Sierra

Oh, how I am going to miss Connie's contagious smile and hilarious personality! Aimee, you remind me so much of her and your dad is lucky to have you around to remind him how amazing she was and know they raised you to be just as caring, fun and hilarious. A part of me is sad that Conor will not have her to go to as he grows up, but I know he will look up and talk to her whenever he feels the urge. I am more then lucky to have known your mom and even call her "mom" myself. She really was one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. I love you guys!
Hang in there,
Sierra

Mrs.Gunn was one of the best teachers I ever had!! I was lucky enough to have her for 3rd and 5th grade. I transferred to Willow Springs after 3rd grade had started and she immediately made me feel like family. I was so excited to learn that we lived in the same neighborhood. She showed us her sweet greyhound and how they cross their legs and sit like a person! I thought of her every time I saw a twizzler too! I continued in elementary education to hopefully touch someone's life the way she touched mine. She was an absolutely amazing teacher, woman and mentor. I am blessed to have met her. Prayers are with her family as I know this is such a great loss.

Katie and I are sorry that we will not be able to attend Connie's service. Connie will forever be in your hearts - how sad to lose her so suddenly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I remember meeting Connie, David and Aimee when Aimee was just a very little girl. I was married to Connie's cousin, Ken Zintel. Iwas so impressed with this beautiful family who was just filled with love and bubbling with good humor! Connie "friended" me on Facebook several years later as did Aimee. I have since considered both ladies very good friends! Connie always sent me pins on Pinterest and interesting things on Facebook because she knew they would appeal to me. I will miss Connie's persobal messages. I always thought we'd meet again in person someday and I now know we will meet in Heaven! May God bless you all!

As her hairdresser I had so many conversations with her,and we had one thing in common we both raised one and only girls and she said it's not easy but you have to just give them so much love.I learned a lot from your mom,she always had very peaceful and loving conversation and I was thinking how lucky you are to have a mother like Connie.
Tow days befor she passed I did her color again and she was as happy as she could be,I never forget her face playing with her new phone under the steamer.
This Christmas celebrate her life as she had so much to give.
Love you Amiee.

Aimee, my first conversation with your mom was over the phone when I asked her and your dad to be present at the office surprise baby shower for you. I hadn't met your mom before our phone conversation, and yet she sounded so warm and I thought to myself, "I can't wait to meet this woman because she was so personable and so easy to carry on a casual conversation with!" I knew right away where you got your amazing personality. I could tell how close you two were.
My heart aches for you and your family during this time. Your mom was an amazing person - hold on tight to those memories.

David, Although we never met Connie we were deeply saddened to hear of her passing. It's always difficult losing someone who has been a partner for nearly a half a century. You learn their little quirks, their inner qualities, the things you loved about her and from reading about her, she had many good qualities. David please accept our thoughts and prayers and deepest condolences at this time, God Bless you..Your Class of '61....

David and Aimee, I am shocked to hear of Connie passing. She and I were just communicating a few days ago and discussing being together in Pearl Harbor and she expressed how much she loved Marcia and I and hoped that we might end up together again. Connie was such a gentle and special person and Dave and Aimee, you are so lucky to have had her in your lives for so long. I envy you those years. My prayers are with you and I know that Connie and I will meet again on the next level. I feel her presence around me. All my love to you both. Dick Repasky (Cape Coral, FL)

I am deeply grieved to hear about Connie passing, though she will be surely welcomed in Heaven with a big party, probably planned by her! Connie has always been my best friend, though we lost touch for awhile. My word for her has always been and always will be "charming", my ultimate compliment for anyone...... We were University of Hawaii classmates and our husbands then were fellow Navy officers on the same ship. So this goes way back to 1966, , when we met! There will never be anyone even close to the special person she was, and I will always remember her and the good times we had. Love you, Connie......Marcia Elliott Mawae

Dear Aimee and David,
Connie will be sorely missed by not only yall, but also your furry family. She had such a way with animals, especially dogs. She seemed to put 100% of herself into whatever she did and was such a positive influence for so many folks and rescue animals. Praying for your strength and faith as the days pass. God bless you during this difficult time.
