You Have Not
Because You Ask Not
Asking has always been so hard for us because we always find a way to do things. It is hard to make the move by myself . Help me Lord to make the decision. Emma and Bennie need me

Eventually in life, you find out who matters, who doesn't and who always will.
You're always in my heart and in my soul, I am so alone and so sad because I can't hold you in my arms, I haven't laughed or smiled or felt anything but sadness. My little girl come home.

Darling I miss hearing your laughter and seeing your smile. I surround my office with your pictures of you and the kids. Your voice was on my last cell phone I had down there but Jon and Terry took it from me and then everything was erased. My heart aches so much for you, I need to be close to you, I need you

Dear Jon, Emma and Ben,
On behalf of Sanctuary of Hope Prayer and Retreat Center in KCKS, I want to extend our love and prayers to you and all your loved ones at the death and now new life of Cortney in Heaven with Jesus. We, as were so many, were stunned when Marilyn called us and told us about the death of Cortney. The word went out thru our whole community and prayers were being offered for all of you for strength and comfort. What deeply touched me is when I read the words of Jon about how the community there, the church and so many others reached out to him and his family to be of support and help. This has always impressed me about true communities today. We will offer the Eucharist for Cortney and all of you on April 24th at SOH. All I could think of is the words of John' gospel: "Jesus wept." Peace and Joy in the risen Jesus, who now Cortney sees face to face, Fr. Dennis Wait, Spiritual Director and long time friend to the Jack and Marilyn Connolly Family

Cortney, I miss you so much. You are my little girl. We spoke almost nightly. You sounded so excited to be going to this party on Sat. with the kids, next thing I hear is 'your gone' . I will carry your heart and soul with me forever until we meet above. Our future plans will go forward, I know you are here to guide me.
God speaks through all things good and beutiful but nowhere is his voice more sweetly heard than in the love shared between mother and daughter.
I will not let you die in my heart. I love you baby,
mom

The road ahead will be a rocky road and you will find the strenght it takes to go on. Cortney was and always will be in our thoughts and hearts. She is the sunshine in the morning and the sunset in the evening. She is that bright light in the night. She will guide us in all that we do. She lives on through Emma,Ben and you. We will cry,we will laugh, but most importantly we will all be with her again some day. My prays are with you and the children,Kaye and Terry too.

Dear Connolly Family:
My deepest sympathies, Cortney was such a vivacious lady who was so proud of her family. She always had a smile on her face, which was so easy to like her. The last time I saw her at Jody & Sunday's house, she didn't hesitate to stop and talk to me, regarding my husbands loss and how I was doing, she truly was interested. May God keep her safe in his arms. My thoughts and Prayers are with the entire family, also with Terry, Kay and family.

My little brother also lost his wife recently to a rapid and vicious cancer. She was gone from our presence before we knew it. However, she does live among us with God and his angels - there is no end, just new beginnings. Keep heart, and believe in life and truth forever.

I met Cortney and Jon in Texas at my sister Karen and Dans house, in Dec. Karen always talked very highly of both Cortney and Jon. I just remember thinking how sweet I thought she is from the moment I met her. Jon, you and your children and whole family are in my prayers and thoughts. She is in the arms of our Lord Jesus now. We will miss her!!

Our prayers are with you your family during this difficult time of seperation.
Our son Colten attends the Creative Bear Christian Pre-school with Emma. We will miss the time we had talking with Cortney while we all waited to pick up the kids.
Colten's great grandmother also passed away on March 13th. It is still with sadness in our hearts and tears in our eyes we grieve and try to understand gods will.
Through your families love you will find great strength and many shoulders to lean on.
God bless you all.

Cortney was more a sister to me than a cousin. I know that she is in a better place now, and free of pain and sickness, but it is still tremendously hard to accept. I love you and will miss you terribly, Cort! My heart goes out to Jon, Emma & Ben for their loss of a wife and mother. Terry, Kay, Jan, Dale, Troy...the entire family...my deapest sympathy to all of you. With Love,

Courtney will be very missed and loved. She is with God now.
