To Connies family;
I just received a copy of ALHS Alumni Newsletter with the tribute to Connie. I have not seen Connie since high school when us girls use to pile in her car at lunchtime. As a high school friend I can honestly say she was such a wonderful, kind and happy teenager. I have some very special, always funny memories of Connie. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am so so deeply sorry to hear this. To the most beautiful person in this world who left us so soon. She will be greatly missed. I worked with her for many many years and I am so glad that I did. We had this great bond that I would not change for anything. I am so glad she looked me up when Dave and her came to Las Vegas for a vacation. I will cherish those moments forever. Rest in Peace Connie, I love you.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

Norma, Charlie, David & family,
I am unable to put into words how much my heart aches for all of your family.
It is hard enough to lose anyone you love.
But a child opens another door deep in your soul.
I wish I could take away the pain with the loss of Connie.
I cannot tell you this pain will be less with time.
Because it has been eight years since we lost Dick and it seems like yesterday.
How brief is our life on earth but we all leave a handprint in a heart of someone we touch & love.
Death changes everything we thought we knew about life.
Your family will be in my thoughts & prayers.
May God help guide you thru the many hours of sorrow.
Aunt Dee

I'm so sorry to hear about Connie, I worked with her at xpedx and
always enjoyed her craziness and upbeat attitude.
Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow
Thinking of you with sympathy
