Connie and sister Sandy lived in the neighborhood adjoining mine, I would often visit Connie and Sandy while growing up during our elementary and mostly Junior High and High school age. We had great times together just discussing life and joking and became great friends confiding in each other anything and everything. We lost contact after our high school years when I went away to college, but I often thought of our friendship with both Connie and Sandy. I had wondered from time to time what became of them both, a few years ago I ran across Connie's obituary and was sincerely saddened to hear of her passing at such a young age. She always had a great smile and laughter and I wish we could still sit together and discuss life as we use to. I offer my condolences to her family as I'm sure her passing left a hole in their life. Yet it's a blessing to know we will continue to see those we befriended and loved during the next portion of our eternal life. God bless you Connie and Sandy and I hope you never forget the friendship and fun we shared during our younger years. May God bless and watch over your family left behind and May they always have fond and loving memories of such a sweet and beautiful young woman they had as their mother, and wife, friend.
