To Connie's family - I send my deepest condolences. It's been quite a while since I worked with Connie at ConnectiCare...the great picture reminds me of her...always so easy-breezy. And a darn good HR professional. Lambert Owens, another former ConnectiCare friend, just told me the sad news. Not what I wanted to hear. I hope you can take comfort that she is not in pain and that she is well remembered by a large group of friends across the country.

Hi Frank. I haven't spoken to you in so long and this is not ever the way I wanted to be back in touch. I never got to meet your children but I'm betting they were the light of Connie's life. I used to love her laughter and her sweet singing voice. So many times we would go to lunch and sing to all the songs, especially Barbara Streisand! My deepest condolences to you and the children. I know that she will forever be smiling down on you and the children and her sisters and mother. She is at peace with her dad.

Frank, Nicole and Brian. God did not give me siblings of my own but what he did give me is Connie and her sisters. Not a moment in my life did I not feel that they were my sisters and their families were my family too. I will miss Connie and will remember her with a smile for every moment we shared. We are so sorry for your loss. We Love You Carol, Mike , Chelsea and Garrett

Frank, Brian and Nicole my deepest sympathies to you on the loss of your beloved wife and mother. I worked with Connie at Ahlstrom Windsor Locks and have many fond memories of her. She never failed to bring a smile to my face as she recounted cute and funny stories of her children. May loving memories of the years you shared with her bring you strength in the coming days, months and years.

I don't know you well even though my spouse Armand is your cousin. We have met on a few occasions especially the women's day out two or three summers ago at a vineyard. We had fun and wine. Whatever happens there, stays there and in our memories. We will cherish you in heart and prayers. Last Independence Day was our last get together with fireworks in the backyard. Please do let us know if you need help Frank, Nicole and Brian. Don't be strangers, we are also neighbors.
