Dear John and Joy,

I have been thinking so much about you lately and just discovered this guest book. Connie was such a lovely person and we had so many laughs and long talks together over the years. I will always remember our horseback ride and wish we had taken the time to do more. You both are in my thoughts and prayers. What a sweet angel she is. Love, Roxene

Connie, When you married John, we didn't realize how much of a part of our life you would become. Through the years, you became so much more that a sister-in-law. You became our "sister" and friend. We are surely going to miss your never ending smile, your zest for life and the caring & kindness that you showered on everyone you met. Enjoy your journey and we will meet up with you again...just beyond the clouds. Love always, Mike and Rene'
