Dave and Family....
So sorry to hear about Connie's passing. I know how proud she
was of her daughter and granddaughter and she will be missed so much.
God's holding her in his hands now and each ray of sunshine will
remind you of her smile. She'll be with you in your heart.
The class of 1969 has lost a good friend.
Hugs and prayers for your family.
