Dear Bill and Karen,
Connie was a great testimony for our Lord and Saviour. She was a prayer warrior as well! I loved her and know she loved me. I´ll cherish the last time I spent with Connie talking about her time in New Orleans. My 9 y/o granddaughter had a themed Carnival dance and Connie gave me a beaded necklace to give to her. Connie had a big heart. She will be greatly missed. Bill and Karen, you and family are in my prayers. God bless you and strengthen you in His love.
Love and much prayer,
Kim Pircio
