"We are very saddened by the passing of our beloved Great Aunt Connie. She played a significant role in my life and was always there for me and my family. Connie was a remarkable women--wise, witty, and kind. She lived life to the fullest to the end of her days. Connie was a lifelong learner and a wealth of iinsightful and valuable information and advice. Just this year I showed her how to use iMessage on her new Mac computer and looked forward to her messages. She always raised my spirits and stayed engaged in my and my familiy's life and activities. We had lots of fun. I will miss our visits and time together. She was not just my Aunt but my friend too. Connie greeatly missed Dick who left us 20 years ago. We were hoping for another Christmas with Connie, but she must have been ready to go home to be with Dick and other loved ones for Christmas. I love you Connie and miss you so much. "
In loving memory of
Constance L. Jacobson
