Thinking of you
Dear Uncle Ed and Cousins,
I am deeply sorrowed by the news of Aunt Connie’s passing. She was a wonderful wife, mother and aunt.
I am so appreciative of all that Ed and Connie have been to our side of the family. Connie was a loving, caring, wonderful person and we are all lucky to have had her in our lives. I have always been so fond of her and am now feeling regretful that I have been so far away these past forty years and have somehow missed out on so many family moments with you all.
Pat and I send our condolences to all and hope to see you soon.

We'll miss you, Connie
One of the great mysteries in life is why some people die "young" despite living a happy, purposeful life with a great attitude. Connie's life was too brief for all those who loved her--a heartache for Ed, her children, and grandchildren. But they must have inherited her strong spirit, great sense of humor, and love of life. We have great memories of that aspect of Connie--we won't forget her. "Hey, girl! Are you rearranging Heaven up there?"
Fondly,
Marian and Lou Choppy
Dottie and Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. We will be thinking of you, even though we cannot be there with you in person.
Warm regards,
Stacy, Ed, Ryan and Sarah
