Dave and Ashley, I just heard about the passing of Connie and wanted to send my (late) condolences. I worked with Connie at Valley Eye Clinic and she was so fun and full of humor and life. She always connected with the patients and she was SO good at figuring out the insurance forms! Connie even hosted a baby shower for me when I had my daughter (17 years ago!). While we will miss Connie on earth I am sure she is in Heaven making new friends!

Dear Dave & Ashley -- I was shocked and saddened to read of Connie's passing. I have been traveling a lot for work the past month and save the newspapers to "read later", which explains why I am so tardy with my condolences. We so enjoyed being your neighbors for 12 years. Connie was a wonderful neighbor and friend. I know she will be missed dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!

I just heard this news and could not be more shocked. Most of my fondest memories were spent at the Meyers house through out high school. We were always welcomed and looked at Mrs. Meyers as one of group. I will always remember her smile and her laugh. She was full of life and is the kind of parent everyone should aspire to be. Thanks to Ashley and Dave for sharing such a wonderful person with the rest of the world.

So sorry to hear about Connie. I remember being next to Connie in the Saxaphone section in the Glidden Band. What fun we had. Lots of laughs...I haven't seen her since I graduated in 1967. Long time! But, looking at her picture reminds me what a neat and loving person Connie was. I am so sorry for you loss. I know this is a difficult time but celebrate her life in your memories.

Your family does not know me but when I saw that Connie passed away I had to send a note to tell you how sad I was to see her memorial in today's paper. I have frequented St. Francis the past few years and saw Connie with her family all the time. When I first saw her I thought she was such a beautiful lady...I had no idea she was ill. She would hold her granddaughter with such pride...I know I am a grandma, too. I watched as she really struggled, however, still beautifu during the past several months and thought she was such a fighter.
I want you to know that your family will be in my thoughts during the next few months! We all know that she is happy and peaceful.

Dave & Ashley,
There are no words to express our sorrow in learning of Connie's death. We are so saddened that your hearts must be aching and you that you have lost a mom, a wife and a friend who was full of life. Connie was beautiful both inside and out. Even though we haven't seen you recently we remember some great times with good laughs. We hope your happy memories will give you some peace during this difficult time.
With much sympathy,
Linda & Mike
