My sincerest condolences to the family. Connie was a special friend and she will be missed. We enjoyed playing cards whenever I visited her She was a great organizer for pitch games at the EL Senior Center where I first met her!
She loved her family and always talked about them. I enjoyed visiting her whenever I returned to EL for family visits after retiring to Florida.

My mom was a very tough woman.. I will never forget when she flew out to Arizona to sit with me in Tucson while I received 7-days of chemotherapy treatment for my cancer and spent the next two weeks helping take care of my two young kids while I tried to recover. She was a big help to me when I had cancer.
