Constance Ann McKinney Hopkinson

When our parents didn't speak to us about drugs and alcohol, you did. Through the various clubs, you've helped so many teenagers realize it's ok not to drink or do drugs, and it doesn't make you any less "cooler" than the kids that do. You always greeted everyone with a smile and that smile will be missed by many. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

I thas been a long time since I have seen you, but through other I had heard you were going through something tough, I'm sad to see you go but happy that you are at peace.

Dear Mike and family,
Your Mom was a wonderful person full of spirit and faith. The earth was a better place because of her presence and she will be missed. With sincere sympathy, Nancy and Terry

Dear Myron,
Our sincerest sympathies to you on the loss of a very special person in Connie. Our prayers will be with you to give you the peace that you need at this very difficult time.

Mrs Hop was one of the most amazing, caring women I've ever met. She was a powerful positive influence during the difficult times of adolescence, always ready with a hug and a listening ear. I was forever shaped by the way she encouraged me to be a leader and I will never forget the fun we had at SADD events when I was at CYHS - 1986-1990. I am glad she is no longer suffering, and I send my deepest sympathies to her family.

My dearest Connie,
From the first morning that we met you touched me in many ways. We spent several hours just talking, i remember listening to you tell me all about "you" and thinking to myself..."what an absolutely amazing woman" i admire you for so many reasons, you know them all!!! I will miss you dearly and will hold all of the knowledge you shared with me in my heart. I still sleep with the "RELAX" shirt you gave me...thank you Connie for touching my life! "You lift me up..." God...

Dear Hopkinson/Bird family,
I only got to know Connie and Myron in the final few months of Connies life, you are wonderful people. Connie was the strongest woman that I have ever met, I am glad that I got to meet her. We had a special bond from the beginning. I spent many hours talking with Connie in the middle of the night, I just wanted to share with you that she loved and appreciated her family, students, and friends. She shared many stories about Mike, Jen, Evan, Myron, and the...

Connie was a great friend and a wonderful supporter of young people. Her tremendous efforts to help youth stay drug-free will be missed. I will miss you greatly, however, I know that now you can finally be at peace.

Myron,
What a blessing and honor it has been to know the two of you. As much as I will miss Connie, I know she is with all of us and no longer in pain. Her courage and dedication will always be an inspiration to me and those that knew her. What an incredible lady.
