Tributes
"If I was to tell everything of the fun loving caring person you have always been, Ms Connie, I'm afraid the pages would turn into a book. I believe it would start somewhere in 1997, from LOVING all our children(can Katie Jo and Bradley come down) to drinkin a beer, maybe a drink or just havin a glass of water. All the fun you gave us from any party to homecoming floats. I say hats off to you my dear friend, Thanks for letting us all be a part of your life. We will all be happy to have to as our guardian angel, let your light shine bright to the music of the jukebox while we all have a COKE ! We Love you Connie and you will be greatly missed by us all ! Thoughts and prayers to Bucky and your family. Always in our hearts, Rest in Peace our Friend. Love Mitzi & family and all the Ole' Shaker Gang. (you have most of them with you, Have a grand party)"
