Cookie, I just found out about Connie this morning. Please know that you and your entire family are in my prayers. I met you and Connie in 1974 at the Stop 6 Center and have fond memories of so many fun times. You both always made me laugh and the one and only time I ran away from home I went to your house and heard Richard Pryor comedy albums for the first time!!! God Bless you and your family. I will be in touch.
