Fred and I send thoughts and prayers to you all! May your memories make you smile and ease the pain of your loss. I can vividly remember Connie shooing my friends and I out of Dad's office when we tried to sneak in from the back yard for drinks of water....followed by a handful of candy from the front desk candy bowl!!
