Connie I still think of you every time I hear New Orleans mentioned or see a retro kitchen item. You left us way too soon and you are missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at the lost of your wife. grieve for her and take as long as is necessary, yet with hope. It's OK to miss her as many will. She maybe at rest, but it will be a while before your heart will be.

Without hesitation I can say that I am proud to have known Connie Ohara. We must pay tribute to this gentle, consciencious, values driven woman. Unwavering love of and for family were not just words for Connie. Indeed, we could learn from her caring and unmeddling example. She lived that love every day in her deeds and was as her name implies, constant. Her phone calls always brightened my day and I will truly miss her. Cynthia Schafer
