To the family of Connie Jones and her very special friend, Richard Sandoval: Please accept our condolences. Connie was a delightful, and unusually upbeat person to visit. We became acquainted with her through our close friend, Edith Gammill, a former Parkmoor resident and a good friend of Connie.

My Aunt Connie was quite simply the most endearing person in the whole wide world!!! She was the most thoughtful person i have ever known. My brother Andy And I had the pleasure of pretty much growing up with her all throughout our childhood and well into adulthood. I feel very fortunate that both of my children had the pleasure of getting to know her and love her! To me, she will always be a role model. She is somebody I truly strive to be like and loved as she was. I will always admire my aunt connie for the truly wonderful person she was and what an impact she has made on my life. She will truly be missed more than anyone could ever know!

She dealt with her health problems in a positive manner and made others around her happy. I will always remember her smile, her love of the Denver Bronco's, Elvis, her family and Richard. You (and she) will be in my prayers. She was often in my prayers after I left Parkmoor. Jan Anderson, nurse practitioner formerly at Parkmoor with Dr. Miller
