Dear Anthony and Family,

I am Margie's aunt and only met Connie several times. However, I heard many times what a truly wonderful person she was. All my prayers and sympathy go out to you at this very sad time.

Dear Anthony and Family,
We just learned of Connie's passing and are so sad for your loss. Connie was a kind caring woman filled with a spirit that can not be described. We were blessed with the opportunity to work with both you and Connie on St.Teresa's Pre Cana Team for many years. She was a wonderful lady who touched the lives of all those who knew her. Know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am certain your mom prayed for me even when I might have argued she really didn't need to, in times of no apparent hardship or pending trouble, which is a very special gift. Caring was an everyday routine for her.

I am praying for her right now, and you, her family. You have my deepest sympathy.

Connie was one of the most kind, compassionate, caring and spiritual persons I know. She was always giving. I had the priviledge of getting to know her and love her through Altar & Rosary, the Lawn Festival, the Christmas Bazaar and Spaghetti dinners. She will be truly missed, I hope you find comfort in all the good, happy memories you have of her. We have another Angel in heaven now.
Our Love and Prayers to you.
