Not sure what to say?

A great lady married to a great man, Cornelia and Tom. Wonderful people. Can't talk about the one without talking about the other; they could never be separated, so I know they are still together and watching over their family. Thanks for the memories.

My sentiments are the same as I wrote before. You can't talk about Connie without talking about Tom too. Two wonderful people who met, married, had children, grandchildren and shared with them the great love that Connie and Tom had for each other. Through marriage, they were one and the same.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
