Your mother was such a joy! I will truly miss her and her positive approach to everything. Thank you for the opportunity to spend time with her. It was always a blessing to me!
So sorry for your loss
She was fortunate to have such loving care
Connie was a pleasure to be with anytime. She would go anywhere anytime she was asked. And always in a good mood. And she was so nice to My own mother. My mother thought connie was so neat to be around . They each thought the other was special. From the first time they met. It was wonderful she had her daughter and husband to be with at the end of her life.
Connie was such a pleasure to be around. She would go anyplace anytime
with me. For a number of years i saw her 3 times a week or more. And
my own mother adored her. Connie and my mother both had their own
special connection with each other from the first time they met. After they
met my mother would always say: ‘is Connie coming?’ Mom always wanted
Connie along with us for everything. When i first met her i did not realize
this was the start of something new. Good times. God bless her big heart.
Connie played a lot of card games through the years with Kate and her mother and me and I was always admired that she didn’t care if she won or lost, just wanted to play and have fun. She was always up for anything and just enjoyed it all. She was fun and she will be missed.
I really loved spending time with your mother, Connie and am truly sorry for your loss. I had Connie over many times for lunch and dinner on our deck and she was always so thoughtful and nice. We had so many good times having meals together on those beautiful spring days when she would come with my Grandma before and after my Grandma had passed. We enjoyed her on holidays and felt she was part of our family. I am certain her heart is filled with peace as she is now with God. May it somehow give you and your family peace of mind and ease your sorrow, too, to know that many thoughts and prayers are going out to you.
My condolences to Wes and you! She was a lovely, sweet lady.
So sorry for your loss Joan & Wes.
She was blessed to have your love & care all through the years.
You Mom was a strong and amazing woman. She has a great sense of humor. I will always remember going to visit her at Famous Barr when we were at the mall. Such a blessing that she was able to be with you at the end of her life.
Joani. Your mom was such a gracious and beautiful lady. I know she was your best friend. Jer and I both always knew how much you loved her and you took the best care of her over the years. She had the best daughter who was also her best friend. Love and prayers. Terri Koeller.
Connie wax in our wedding 73 years ago (1950). She has always been a good looking lady with a great figure and she could really dance. We shared really good times together. She will be greatly missed.
I loved seeing her watch my kiddos as much as she loved watching them play. So sweet
My mother was the most loving mother. You always loved her children unconditionally. She has never failed us. She is free in heaven with our savior Jesus Christ. She no longer hurts from her childhood, her marriage and the guilt of her children relationships with each other. I am so happy my mommy is free of pain. I will forever love her
