I found Connie to be faithful and devout to our Lord. She very much enjoyed receiving our Lord Jesus Christ in Holy Eucharist all the way until she met Him face to face.

My dear Connie, now your heart can truly "reat in the peace of the Lord" as St. Augustine would say.
may the perpetual Light always shine on you. Amen
I will be out of state tuesday, but you will be on my mind.
Love, Maureen

Hello,
I first met Connie when she was with the Altoona Prayer Group with St. Johns and Paul's church. A gentle soul was Connie and a great love of Jesus. That is what I loved about her the most.
When I had my first son Robert in 2005 she loved him as "only a grandmother" could and prayed for him every day she told me. I do not know if she knew that I had another son, Michael, in 2007, and that I had twin sons just this past September but what I do know is now she is watching over my sons and spiritually interceding for them as only she could.
She will be missed yet I know in my heart she is there.
peace and love to her family.

Ps: sorry I won't be able to attend her service as my twin son Larry Jr just came home on Thursday. His twin brother James remains in the NICU at Mercy. Both were born on September 27th at 25 weeks and day.
