Please accept my sincerest condolences and know that the God of comfort feels your pain and sorrow. Isaiah 61:1,2.
Connie was such a beautiful woman and just an overall wonderful person. Im thinking about you, Sarah.
The best sister in the whole world. No words can express what I feel. The song My Way comes to mind….
My memories of my cousin Connie are how classy and elegant she seemed to me.
Her love for animals was one of her great passions. I can imagine her standing at Rainbow Bridge in heaven and all her animals see her and they just start running to her.
Rest In Peace
Dear John and Sarah, So many memories of me growing up involve Connie. I was lucky enough to share time with her on the houseboat, watching her ski on one foot for hours on end, her times living across from our home, times with Linnie, her lovely mom and of course the fantastic haircuts she gave me. I think of her with much love, and you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult passage.
Connie was a very loving and sweet woman. I loved her with all my heart.
She will be dearly missed
We met Connie dining at Crestview, and always enjoyed seeing her and Johns friendly faces!! She is a beauty and we will miss her. Our thoughts are with you all.
Sarah and John, Please accept my familys condolences at the passing of Connie. We had many good times with Connie and she left indelible mark on all of our lives. She is loved and will be missed. Her sweet soul will live on forever. Dorothy Jones, Greg Jones, and Toni Johnson
Connie has been a good friend for over 50 years Even after I moved out of state I always look forward to going back to Wichita to visit Connie. We would have lunch and spend the afternoon catching up on our lives and friends. We laughed together during good times and cried together during hard times. We talked by telephone several times during the past year. I will miss you friend.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
