Dearest Casey, Kathie, Chuck, Frank and Peter, all the wonderful cousins and the many who called her aunt, our hearts are heavy at this time, but someday we will once again have a lovely gathering, somehow I bet Connie is already planning and organizing that blessed event. All our love and prayers.

Dearest beloved Connie, how can we say goodbye? It’s difficult to think we will not see your smiling face again. We who shared so much,our young families growing and bonding together. All the happy times: weddings, dinners, holidays, vacations, and the sad times when we had to say goodbye to family members over the years. We are sad you left us all behind, and that you are thirty again and we aren’t.

You better be there when we cross the line. We are looking forward to seeing you in that never-ending happy place. Give Debbie a hug for us.

May the Almighty Lord, Jesus Christ bless you and your family during this hard time.
May the endless memories of Connie bring you everlasting love and joy. May her good spirits blow in your direction as a thousand winds that blow, May her smile and Charisma sparkle like a diamond glint on snow. As the sunlight on ripened grain and the sound of gentle autumn rain, May she remain in your hearts and shine upon you for eternity.

My deepest condolences go out to your entire family.


Respectfully,

I am completely astonished and deeply saddened to learn of Connie's passing. She and Jo Felice were my great friends when I rented from Jo in the mid-1980's. I spoke with Connie 6 weeks ago on Jo's passing. My heartfelt condolences to her family and to all who knew her. Ron Giranio

Connie has been my neighbor for the 7 1/2 years I have lived on Hermitage. I remember her as always been very friendly when I saw her - usually as I was going to my car or doing work in the parking lot. The world was a better place for her neighborly spirit. I will miss her. - Mike Mackaplow

My dear Concetta, my dear friend, I hold you close to my heart. Casey, my heart goes out to you. I have missed you both for the last few years and this news has broken my heart. Connie will always be my cherished friend and I will miss her all the days of my life. She was never afraid to tell you her mind, and her strong wil and big heart touched many. She helped make me a stronger person, especially when we would have our "pushy broad" sessions. Connie and I became fast friends all those years ago in the lighting industry. She orchestrated suprise wedding and baby showers for me, that made me so elated . I can say that she will be missed by myself and many. I sincerely express my deepest sympathy to her family as she spoke about all of you often and her many Alaska visits and how she couldn't wait to see her grandbabies (now all grown up). All the trips up North and the stories. The world has lost an amazing person this week. May God bless Casey and Connie's family and give them the strength and peace to be strong during this time of sorrow.
with our love,
Jennifer (Murphy), Geovanny, Aidan & Charlie Alvarado
