Hi you all. Sorry about Connie. I have not seen her since high school but we did have a nice relationship. Hope you all are doing well.
We are a;; so very sorry to learn of the untimely death of Connie here in Brooksvale at Elim Park. The short time we have known her we have so enjoyed here welcome smile and kind thoughts and friendliness. Rest in peace Connie! To her family our most sincere sympathy!
I am so heartbroken to have learned of Connie’s passing. I still cannot believe she is no longer here. We talked about having another girl’s lunch to catch up once she was feeling better. She always made me laugh and we became such good friends. I will miss her greatly, but I am so glad to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones.
