The passing of our dear sister-in-law Connie brought great sadness to the whole May family.
Her love of family, great faith and inner strength were always apparent as she guided her family through happy times and times of sorrow.
Her work with her church alongside John was one of her greatest joys.
She will be sorely missed.
Rest in peace Connie.
