I can’t believe that my dear sister Connie has passed away. She was so dear to me even though I met her so late in life. I was looking forward to many more visits with her. I cherish the times we had together, cook-outs and fish dinners at their house, spending time at the lakes, and fishing in our boat and sightseeing in North Carolina where we live. I am glad that Connie is not suffering any more but I just want to see and talk to her one more time. My heart goes out to all her family who are grieving. We lost a beautiful, kind and caring, sweet, and funny lady.

While I knew Connie from high school, in the last few years she and I have become so much closer. I loved her positive attitude and loving nature. I am already missing her. My deepest condolences to her family.
