Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Gary, So sorry to hear of Connie’s passing. She was such a neat lady and I know she will be truely missed by everyone who knew her. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I always looked to Connie as an example of the type of Christian that I wanted to be. She was open with her love, friendship and spirituality. She always had that smile that made you feel like she cared about you and what you had to say. These last couple of years as we prayed for Connie, my faith was strengthened as I saw the power of prayer give her strength. Our prayers will continue to be directed to you and Emily. Roger & Ruth
Gary, while I did not know Connie, I wanted you to know I was thinking of you. I commend you for acknowledging Connie’s faith in Jesus in the obituary. May God be with you and your family in a special way during this challenging time of transition.
Connie had the best attitude about life. She never seemed to feel sorry for herself. One of my fondest memories of her was at the Marvin Gaye Memorial party where she and Patty Statham had a great time dancing. I will always hold her in deep admiration.
Dear Family members, I have many memories of Connie growing up together in Wichita. Our families were friends, and we attended church together. She was a very special, sweet girl, and I will always remember her as exceptional. Gary Glyckherr, Edmond, OK
Emily, I am so sorry about your mom. Just seeing her picture in the paper brought back many special memories of Hyde. Her enthusiasm and affection meant so much to me. And you, my dear, still hold a special place in my heart. I think of you quite often. God bless you, your dad, and all those who loved Connie. May the knowledge of her salvation and tender memories be a comfort to you at this difficult time. Andee Ham
To the Gamm and Brown famiies, So sorry to her about Connies passing. I remember a dance she held at her house on Martinson, we were in the 6th or 7th grade. I remember her as a terrific person. Bob Nixon (a classmate from McCormick Elem, Allison Jr High, and West High)
Please accept my sincere condolences. I was fortunate enough to meet Connie and Gary this past spring in Omaha. Very wonderful people and Connie was so kind, and I am sure she will be greatly missed. God Bless you all.
Gary, blessings to you. My heart aches with your loss. We know that Connie lived life with no regrets. That is truly a blessing.
Gary, I am so sorry. Connie is a great gal.
Gary & Sharon…..I am SO sorry to read of Connie’s passing. She was a terrific person who gave her heart and soul to everyone. I know you both will have a special place in your heart for her.
I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Gamm family. Connie was a beautiful person and had an impact on all of our lives. Her light will be missed. May peace be with you as you grieve.
Gary and Emily Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. ‘Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life in fear; rather look to them with full hope that as they arise, God, whose you are, will deliver you out of them. He has kept you hiterto-do you but hold fast to his dear hand, and He will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand, He will bear you in His arms. Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.’ Saint Francis De Sales ‘Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid,neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.’ Joshua 1:9
Gary and Emily, Connie/your mom was a special lady and, although she will be missed in body, she will always be with us in spirit. We will remember her friendship and untiring contributions to the betterment of others’ lives! Know that our prayers and thoughts are with you!
