Dear Bob, Carolyn, Melissa, Kaitlyn and Connie's extended family,
My heart goes out to you all. This significant loss is unimaginable and I am thinking of each of you constantly. I am sad and my whole heart has a soreness and a deep ache for each of you as you begin navigating this ...
Connie loved nothing more than being with you and sharing her life with you. She would happily give updates on how you were doing, new projects, jobs, pets, moves and yes, we even talked recently on whether that beautiful coffee table was sold. I could hear the love in her heart and "see" the smile on her face every time she spoke of you. Family meant everything to Connie. You all came first.
Admidedly selfish, I will share that my heart is as heavy with sadness and a feeling of emptiness as if I've lost a sibling. I have been blessed for over 60 years to call Connie not just friend, but a best friend...and we were, more times than I can count, "fox hole friends". Those are rare and worth their weight in gold. Connie will remain in my heart, and I find myself going over so many times we shared, secrets we held for each other and milestones we marked together. I will run my hands over the tapestry of the thousands of memories we wove together right up to our last conversation and text just a few days before, and I will be grateful for her in my life.
To you, my fellow "tall girl" ...it was my joy and privilege to share a lifelong journey of a close-knit, abiding, and meaningful friendship with you.
Con....Connie...I love you.

I´m so deeply saddened, Connie. She was such a dear friend from our high school days-always there with a listening ear and sometimes a shoulder to lean on. Even when we only met up occasionally over the years, it felt like no time had passed. I´ll always cherish the memories of our music nights out in Port Chester in her flower-power VW Bug. Those were such special times.

Connie and I attended Rippowam High School in Stamford, Connecticut. She was a good friend to me. Always ready to have fun or sit down for a serious talk. She will be missed but memories of Connie will live on.
