We are so sorry to hear about Connie and send our deepest sympathy to Michael, Mike, Eric, and Cathy. Every summer we were happy to see our neighbors at the lake. We will feel such a loss without Connie’s wave and welcome back. Our thoughts are with all of you.

Cathy,

So, so saddened to hear of (little) Connie's passing. She was a kind and sweet soul. I have such fond childhood memories of summers at the lake with our families, our Bermuda trip and just laughing and enjoying a simpler and happier times with you, Stephen, Connie and your loving parents. (And of course dodging the odd sneak attack from Ringo!).
Condolences to her husband Michael and children Michael and Eric.
Regrettably the Covid situation prevents my from paying respects in person. Please know that I share in your sadness and treasure the happy memories I have of Connie and your family.

Just wanted to extend my deepest sympathy to Connie's husband and sons, Michael and Eric. Although we worked together for years, Connie and I developed a wonderful "new" friendship over the last few years when my young niece developed leukemia. She was always a smiling face and a kind word, checking in on me and my family along the way all the way through three years of chemo-- until my niece was cancer free last October.. Even with her own cancer she was more concerned about my niece than herself.. She even drove to my niece's blood drive to show her support. Then we came to realize both our sons attended MMA, another bond enjoying stories of our boys' travels and proud mom moments. Connie knew I watched my own dad die a very young death of cancer at 57, yet she was always comforting me and minimizing her own situation. Her optimism and positive attitude was contagious and I will never forget her. We love you Connie and our office won't be the same without you. You really made a difference OX
