We are so sorry and saddened for your loss. Connie´s influence and sweet smile runs deep in our household and the memories will
last forever. We´ve had finches, dogs, firecrackers and even named one of our neighbors "Aunt Connie" because of the love she showed us.
We are so sorry for your loss but so appreciative to have enjoyed and known her for so many years.
With Love,
Chris and Becky Hager

Tom, it's been a lot of years since we have been in touch. You and Connie lived in our building in Beau Jardin. At that time, we weren't married; you lived across the hall from Jerry, and my apartment was upstairs. When Connie discovered she and I both worked at Monsanto in the same building, she asked if she could ride with me. She was always a lovely person; and I enjoyed her company. We are so sorry to learn she passed away. Please know we extend our very deepest sympathy to you and your family. Please take care of yourselves and be well as you attempt to make the journey to acceptance.

To my family,
My heart aches with this loss of Connie. The obituary is perfect--it captured the essence of Connie to a "T" (pun intended). Carrie and T, do you remember my visit in the fall of 2016 when Connie pulled out letters my dad sent her when they were kids? Precious and priceless. Connie prepared a meal for us that was magnificent and "over the top" -- more food for our small intimate gathering than the wedding we attended the night before. I treasure the luncheon we had too just the three of us.
Memories from attending my wedding and going back to when we were kids!! Connie always made us feel loved and welcome--and was excited to see us whenever and however long time lapsed between visits.
As we attend Aunt Sue's granddaughter's wedding Saturday, I will keep you so very close to my heart and thoughts and so sad I won't be able to celebrate the life of Connie. I'm sending you all SO MUCH LOVE.

I can’t thank you enough for saying all the things beautiful things about Connie.
I feel the same way about my friend she was a beautiful person in so many ways.
My memories are so special about her thank you saying it.
I will miss her even more than I already do at least I have my memories.
