"To Connies family, Connie will be missed very much. No matter what came her way, she always seemed up beat when speaking with her on line. She was so proud of grandkids, and you Scott. She spoke about you guys all the time and her sisters.: I will miss your emails and the smiles you have sent through the years and I'm so glad we got a chance to meet that day in Newport so many years ago. : You are no longer in pain, which you deserve. We will meet again someday my friend, till then. I will truly miss you Connie."

"So many memories but my mind always goes back to a 14 year old girl who lost her mother and needed positive female guidance. Enter this beautiful Angel named Connie who came to live with us. Not as a replacement but as a friend. She joined us in our crazy antics in supermarket trips, our not so good behavior at school, late night girl talks and canasta games, and who could forget our cb water balloon games. Sure you remember those Scott. No doubt in my mind she will find her way back to play more jokes on us, only question is will she get Nick first for stealing her cigarettes or us for chasing her out of house with a moth. Guess we will have to keep in touch to see. Mean while my prayers and thoughts are with you all. May GOD give you the strength you need to get pass this most difficult time. Love you all. Diane and family"

"To Connie's Family: I am deeply saddened by your loss. It was during her time at Edwards/Stop and Shop that we became friends, not ever knowing one day her sister would be my niece. A wonderful, happy go lucky person that I am sure you're all gonna miss. She left you all on my Mom's 90th Birthday, so hopefully they are having a great laugh up there, with everyone else we have all lost. Connie, give my husband a hug for me, and tell Mom I still love and miss her! God bless each and every one of you. XOXO Rest in peace, Connie."

"To the Wagner and Langstaff families, I have fond memories of the Langstaff family dating back to when I used to hang out with Connie's brother Curtis. I remember a sleep over with Curt when we were kids, where I met the rest of the family, of course including Connie. I hadn't been in contact in years but Connie and the rest of the Langstaff family have always been true friends. I will keep Connie in my prayers, asking the good Lord to provide a joyous place in his everlasting kingdom for her. I will also pray that her family can understand and celebrate her graduation to her next life where I'm sure she will pave that joyous way for the rest of her loved ones. I pray for your peace, love and least painful mourning. God bless and stay strong! Always Will Williams"
