Connie and Harold lived on Brim Court 3 doors around from me and my parents Joe and Connie Allen. What a sweet, sweet spirit Connie always was as I was growing up there! Always happy, kindness and a smile from her! Even when Connie and Harold moved to their new home, my mom and I would somehow, luckily meet up with her from time to time at Whole Foods. We loved those unexpected encounters. I was so sad and shocked when Mom called me last week and told me of Connie's passing. Praying for peace and God's love to surround the family. What a blessing Connie was and I can tell you Brim Court is mourning the loss.

The reunion won't be the same without Connie's loving smile and kind words. The whole Bearden family sends their thoughts and prayers. She was a neat woman who knew what the word "family" meant.

Connie was a sweet loving woman who took to you like she.knew you her whole life. My heart is so sad to hear the news of her passing. She was the light in Harold's eyes. I know she is not alone... A sweet boy was there to greet her. Prayers and I am certain she will be missed. Prayers are with Harold and all who loved her. SW

My daughter, Catie, spoke often of "Ma & Pa" dining at the Arlington Chili's where she worked. I was lucky enough to be there on a couple of occasions when they were there as well and got to meet them. They were both wonderful to meet and "Ma" was just great. Their being in my daughter's section was always the highlight of her day. I was honored to have gotten to meet the woman my daughter talked so much about. She will be SO missed !

Ms. Connie was always a breath of fresh air when she would come into Pappasito's with her husband and family. Quick as a whip and always gracious. Her presence will be missed. The whole Pappasito's family loved her dearly My prayers and thoughts go out to Harold and the family. Karen Flower
