My heart goes out to the family Connie was a sweet fun loving person highly loved and thought of with family and also with the community and with the state of Georgia. This came as a shock to me she was so sweet and fun to be with I cannot express how much she was loved just a joy to be around she will be highly missed!!!

Connie could rest now, but I suspect she is busy now in God's heavenly places. Her life here might seem short, but Connie packed more real living for many lifetimes. Her smile, sure, we all miss it; but
I suspect the heavenly host is better for it. God bless all family, friends, and all the many who have been blessed by Connie Burns, including me.

To hear of Connie's death was absolutely shocking to me, she is someone who I expected to never pass, someone who would be smiling forever. She was fun, sweet, loving and a friend in so many ways. She will always have such a special place in my heart. I will miss her.

To all of Connie's family, friends, and collegues: I first met Connie at a SWANA conference in Myrtle Beach 3 to 4 years ago. She was vibrant, smart, funny, passionate, and could tell a great story!! Since that time, we met 3 or 4 times at various SWANA conferences and each time her roles/duties/involvement increased within the SWANA organization. We both enjoyed talkin trash and havin fun. We will dearly miss her enthusiasm, smile, and great sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this very difficult time.

There are no words to sum Connie up in this little space. She was the most outgoing, funloving, unselfish person anyone could ever have the pleasure of knowing. She was a true ray of sunshine in many lives and will always be remembered for her love of life! Enjoy your place in heaven Connnie, you deserve it! I know Oscar Dela Weinner was happy to see his Mom, and I'm sure Ms. Margie was elated to hug her daughter again. You will be sadly missed but joyfully remembered!

What a loss this world has let go of. I will always remember seeing Connie in Mrs. Margie's van going up and down the road. It never sat still long. She was such a free and wonderful spirit and may her life be an inspiration to others just as Mrs. Margie's was to many. I know Connie is in heaven rejoicing with her mama but it leaves us with a broken heart as we are left to adjust. Mr. Ronald, Greg, Randy, and family you are in my prayers.
