Was looking for Quinn family members and incidentally came across Connie´s passing. I have great memories visiting Connie´s home during our annual visit to our grandparents Leo and Mary Quinn. My mother (Dorothy Quinn Robinson) dearly loved Connie and Larry. She relayed she always felt welcome, I recall their laughter. I can hear them all talking and laughing now.

Maribeth, Dan, Carys, and Jordon. Your beloved Constance was a ball of fire, a lantern of love, and an enduring woman - who is now with her God her creator and Larry.

My heart is with you all in the loss of her (on earth). No doubt she will be with you forever. Love never dies. Souls never die. She will never die.

See you soon.

Dear Chris, Linda, and family,

We were all so sorry to hear about the loss of the beautiful Connie Quinn, but wanted to say how much we have enjoyed all the wonderful stories about her over the past few years. Although we didn't know her personally, you made us feel as if we did. Thanks for sharing! All our love and prayers are with you.

Blessings,

hello to the Quinn kids...so remember our happy childhood when you still lived off of summer street...seems like yesterday...went to a funeral in maynard a few years ago, it was a small funeral and not many more people than the immediate family of the deceased....your mom was there with another woman and they were there to represent the parishioners of st bridget's....loved seeing her and sharing a hug and a few old memories...she will be missed by so many...Beverly rosemark and I were speaking of her only last week...may she rest in peace..

Hello To All the Quinns. This is a note I sent to Robbie. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry to hear the news, and my deep sympathy goes out to you, Ann, the kids and the whole Quinn Clan during this difficult time.

What a magnificent person, was Connie Quinn! She had such a wonderful, gentle, sparkling-eyed way about her, and she always made me feel special, even when she had all of her own children to deal with. I still remember with such great fondness going over to your house on Spring Lane and swimming in the pool, always feeling welcomed in a house that was pretty crowded! Just like the Mullins!

Anyway, I bet you are feeling both happy and sad, if you are like me.happy that her suffering is over, but sad that she will no longer be there to chat with and to share a story or two. She will be missed, for many reasons, but one reason stands out to me: whenever I was done talking with Connie Quinn, I always felt better, leaving with an uplifting smile on my face.

Respectfully,

Bill and Maryann Mullin
