Nonnie,

I need to thank you. By no means will this be a solitary "thank you." I will continue to be grateful for the warmth, kindness, and unconditional love you showed me for the rest of my life. I never once had an encounter with you that I didn't walk away from happier. Your generosity was truly boundless, and your words were exceptionally uplifting. On a more distinctive note, I personally am going to miss your general demeanor. I always found it to be sincere and calming, so I never had trouble feeling comfortable around you. I love you, Nonnie. I am a better man for having known you. Once again (but definitely not for the last time), I need to thank you.

Prayers to you and your family❣️ Love you

Once in awhile, if you are fortunate enough in this life, you meet an amazingly beautiful, sweet, kind, talented & funny person who makes you feel as though you’ve known her all your life & are better for it! All who knew Connie loved her immediately! She always had a way about her that made people feel loved & embraced I loved Connie from the moment I was blessed to meet her! She loved flowers & would be so thankful whenever we brought her a Dahlia bouquet from our flower garden. She would go on & on, as though we brought her gold! Such a sweetheart- always more concerned about others than herself. I remember once working out in the yard on a very hot day for hours and Connie called to me from the deck and said… Andrea come over here and sit down and have something to drink… You’re going to kill yourself out there! Haha...that was how she was, concerned about others! I love & miss you Connie! Rest In Peace sweet angel with Jesus & your sweet family

Nonnie,

I’ve struggled to write this because there is so much I want to say but I can’t find the words. You were everything to me when I was little. You were the sun, moon, and the stars and that never changed. I never doubted your love for me because you shared it so freely. I always felt safe and protected. I love you Nonnie, deeply. My life, my character, would not be the same without you. You gave me more than I could ever thank you for. I miss you Nonnie, I’ve missed you all the time you were away from me and I will miss you to the day I die. Thank you for always loving me and supporting me. I love you Nonnie. My heart is breaking. Saying goodbye is so very hard. I will see you again and I will hang on your arm just as I did when I was little. Goodbye for now. ❤️

Grandma Connie was my favorite! Even though she was my "step" Grandma she treated me like blood related family. She was soooo open minded and had a beautiful personality. It made.people want to be around her. I will never forget Italy and our chats while sharing a room, the conversations Phyllis, Grandma, and I used to have. Phyllis and I had used to say Grandma looked like Sofia Loren. When Sophie was born we named her Sophia because of Grandma. I love you Grandma Sophia!

Nonnie,

I will always remember the joy I had knowing we were going to your house. Some of that was to go in your basement and play around, but I couldn't wait to be engulfed with your love. You knew how to make me smile and even when I'd mess up, you were always there to help. Fast forward a few years, I know you and my wife never met but she could feel your love from here. We knew you were thinking of us and we were definitely thinking of you. You would've loved our little one. She's a bundle of joy just like you. We all love and miss you so much. We know you are in a better place and feeling much better. One day we'll meet again and you'll get to meet the whole family.

With so much love,

Brenden, Priscilla, and Aria Christy

Mom, you are forever loved, forever missed and forever in my heart! Till we meet again. May God hold you in his loving arms and make you his favorite beautiful angel. Are you my new guardian angel?? How wonderful that would be! Maybe one day you can give me a sign that you are happy and at peace. But in my heart and soul, I know you are!!! God Bless you Mom and please ask God to watch over all your family left here on earth.

Your loving daughter, Connie Grace
