i am so sorry to hear about Connie's father's passing. [and her mother is gone too, i see.] Connie was a good friend of mine when we were young teenagers when we were both living and going to school in Royal Oak, Mi. i have many fond memories of that time and have been thinking of her lately for some reason. Both of my parents passed away in 1997. i send many heart felt condolences during this very challenging time.
Very Sincerely,
Susan Rasinen-Tabacco
