ELAINE AND FAMILY, I JUST HEARD OF CONNIE'S PASSING. MY HEART IS VERY HEAVY WITH GRIEF, AS I REMEMBER ALL OUR FUN TIMES TOGETHER DOING THEATRE AT PRAIRIE STATE COLLEGE, THE DRAMA GROUP, AND IN MY OWN SHOWS. I DIRECTED CONNIE IN ANYTHING GOES, AND SHE WAS A REAL TROUPER, ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP WITH WHATEVER NEEDED IT, AND ALWAYS TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR ANY PROBLEM. SHE HELPED ME ALWAYS AND COULD SEE A RAINBOW WHERE THERE WAS A RAIN CLOUD. WHENEVER I NEEDED SUPPORT, SHE WAS THERE, A SHOULDER TO CRY ON, OR JUST A LAUGH, SHE WAS THERE. AS WE WENT OUR OWN WAYS, SHE WOULD POP INTO MY HEAD MANY TIMES, AND I WOULD SMILE. I HAVE NEVER LOST THOUGHT OF HOW GREAT A FRIEND SHE WAS. SHE LOVED TO DANCE AND SING, AND I KNOW NOW SHE IS SINGING IN A HEAVENLY CHOIR. ALL MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN THIS TIME OF GRIEF. SINCERELY, AGGIE DITOLA

I was privileged to work with Connie for several years. She was always energized and ready to help with anything. I remember how much she loved music and performing and I think "Cinderella" was a "high point" for her. It was just so clear that she enjoyed that role so much!

I was extremely sorry to learn of Connie's passing. I wish I had been able to attend the services, but learned of them too late. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Elaine, Jeri and Brett:

My Mom just got a call from an old neighbor in Homewood to let us know Connie passed away. I am so sorry for your loss - it is a loss for me as well.

As you know, Connie and I were best friends all through James Hart, H-F, college and as young adults. I still have my cherished photo of "the group" from one of our school dances when Connie was my date. I was very much hoping to see her at the H-F 25th reunion in a few months.

I have very fond memories of hanging out at your house, Connie driving all of our teen group around Homewood in that tan Valiant and the wonderful times we all spent together.

I hope you and your families are well and wanted to send my condolences.

Elaine: My Mom wanted to send a card but I wasn't sure if you were still living on Center Ave. in Homewood.

Take care and please feel free to send me an email to let me know how you are doing and where you are these days.

Love, Kurt

Elaine and Family, I was very sorry to read of your daughter's (sister's) death. The picture caught my eye and then I noticed the name. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Elaine,

I could not believe it when I saw your beautiful daughter's photo on

Sunday. I knew who she was immediately because she looks just like you. My husband and I have attended many meetings, and I had the pleasure of meeting Connie and

speaking with her about New York City. At the time, I commented to my husband how much she resembles you, and how wonderful it is that the two of you share a love of history and take such an active interest in it. I lost my l2 year

old grandson suddenly in 200l, so

I know the sorrow of losing a child. I will pray

that you'll be able to put one foot in front of the other. Connie will

never, ever be forgotten.

Please accept my deepest condolances to the family of Connie Egdorf. Connie and I were childhood & grade school friends (at Churchill school in Homewood), and I have many sweet memories of her that I remember fondly to this day and will always cherish. It is not my habit to review notices in the newspaper, but her photograph was like seeing Connie all over again - I recognized her in an instant. Please know that I've thought of Connie off and on through the years and will always keep our friendship close to my heart. In loving memory, Cristine (Jennings) Trolia

My deepest sympathy and thoughts are with your entire family. I remember my days at HF with Connie in Viking Choir, our trip to Austria, and theater productions.... Up The Down Staircase, Fiddler On The Roof, Gypsy, and Kismet,where we shared a "minaret" in our harem costumes and sang...we had a lot of fun. She always had a smile.
