Connie Collison

I just learned of Connie's death. She was an extremely talented needleworker and a great woman all around! I am going to miss her and mischeviously beautiful smile!!!!

I am only now coming to grips with the loss of a very good friend. Rest in peace, Connie. I find comfort in knowing that you are now with Paul, who you were missing so much. God bless!

Dear Connie:
We got to know you over an 11 day span at Israel. We met so many amazing people at that time. But the most inspiring person was you. You're tenacious desire to soak in the land of our Lord was awesome. Your physical limitations was diminished because of your love for God. You were step for step with us all throughout the arduous terrain. You thanked us always for helping. But I thank you more for your infectious fervor for always seeking Christ. Thank you God for allowing us to meet your favored child, Connie.

Our sympathy to Connie's children at this time of your mother's passing. Paul & Connie have been dear to our Collison family for many many years. How we have missed your dad and will miss your mother now as well. You are in our many thoughts.

My husband and I were "bus mates" with Connie on our wonderful trip to Israel. It was heartening to watch her determination and joy while there. I have a beautiful memory of her sitting up front on the boat as we sailed on the Sea of Galilee. Her face was full of joy as we watched the evening fall on this special place. Our sympathies to you as you say goodbye to her. She will wait for us in heaven.

Connie was amazing on our Israel trip. She was determined to see it all and she did see most everything. She was a blessing to us and a real example of living out her Christian faith.

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I am out of town with my sister and will not be able to attend her graveside service. With deepest sympathy.

We are so sorry to hear about Connie. It was good to see her at the 50th reunion.

Connie was a dear friend. We had fun going to antique stores because we both love dolls. We went to church together and then we took turns buying each other's lunch. Connie would call me and say want to go and off we went She is the sweetest person I have ever meet. I will miss my best friend I know that she is home with the Lord. I will see her again My prayers are with her kids who she loved a lot.

My sympthany to the family! Your mom is home with the Lord and one happy happy women! Certainly we had one traffic time visiting the land of our Lord and where he walked, taught, and finally died on a cross for each and every one of us!

So sorry for your loss. I have known Connie for 20 years(?) as a fellow stitcher at the annual Gretna Stitching Retreats.
I always enjoyed seeing the projects that Connie would be working on - usually with much details and very beautiful work. And she was not scared to change colors or even the design. And her embroidery on the EGA National tapestries was awesome! I truly feel honored to have been one of her "stitching" friends even though we might go a couple of years without seeing each other! We always get "reacquainted" with each other since our last meeting!
Will be missed!

I am a classmate of Connie's. I am so glad she was able to attend the Westwood 50th class reunion. I had a very nice chat with her that Friday evening. Prayers to your family.

But I take great comfort in knowing the positive effects she had on so many and that her spirit will live on through her family and all those she has helped in the past. Love ya sis !
