Dear Fr. Nick and family,
I am so sorry to learn of your Mother's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember Connie to be a friendly and generous person and a very good friend to our family, especially our brother Dan. We began St. Maurice grade school together, but Connie's sharp intellect resulted in her skipping third grade and instead completing the school years with Dan and remaining his friend throughout her life. Connie honored our parents and us by being a cantor at their 50th Wedding Anniversary Mass, and by being present for us at each of their deaths. It is with sincere fondness and gratitude that I will remember Connie. May she rest in peace where she is healthy again in her eternal home with God.

Connie no doubt touched the lives of many and will surely be missed. Though this is a difficult time for you all, may you find peace and comfort in the God of all comfort as he comforts those who mourn. (Psalm 147:3) Please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss.
