Bernie .. I lost my Mother at the age of 100 and it was very difficult but, my joy, was in knowing that my Mom was never going to be any stronger than she was, and that she wanted to go Home to be with her Lord. That was the prayer of my heart and I was grateful when He chose to take her home. Your Mom sounds like a wonderful woman, and my prayer for you is to find peace in this difficult time. May He comfort you as you work through this..

Bernie, Celinda & Brenna,
We were so sorry to learn of Connie's passing, while we were out of town .. We are also deeply saddened over the fact that we were unable to pay our final respects to her, as she was a very kind person, who always kept a pleasant smile on her face, whenever conversing with us .. She will be greatly missed by all who ever had the opportunity to know her .. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of grieving, along with the fact that TWO STARS will be forever shining upon you, as she and Perry together, are now embarking on their well deserved, Eternal Journey with The Lord .. MAY GOD BLESS YOU!
Sincerely, Ronald & Linda Orchowski

Dear Bernie, Celinda, Brenna,
and Family,
Jim and I are so very saddened by the passing of your beloved Mom/Grandma. She was a very "special" lady and loved by everyone who was blessed to know her. We will sorely miss her beautiful face and the love that she always showed us.
Our sincere sympathy and our
thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May the Good Lord
always watch over your Mom and Dad with his care and loving kindness as they are now reunited. May he give all of you strength and care during this difficult time. Rest in Peace
Connie.
Love, Natalie and Jim Stillwagon

Dear Family,
Unfortunately I never really got to know Connie and Perry that well. It seemed that the only time we really saw each other were at a few graduation parties and other family and friends funerals. I did always enjoy her company and all of the stories she told about my husband, John growing up by where she lived in Mt. Washington. She was a fine lady and a beautiful person! My sincere sympathy to all her family and friends.
Sincerely,
Phyllis Pellarin
