REFLECTION OF CONNIE IN HER OWN WORDS: "My family and friends were the center of my life. I was kind, fun-loving and loyal. I strived to be a strong African American woman. I loved deeply. I believe in God". Connie was dedicated to her family and friends; and she served her country with spirit filled honor and grace. Farewell sweet Connie, until we meet again in the Heavenly by and by.
