Connie was my mother-in-law for 36 years and we always loved each other and the last few years we became closer. So many things I will miss...her devilish wink and smile, her delicious food and her creative gifts, I will never forget seeing Something About Mary and The Full Monty movies with her and laughing until we cried.
I loved the way she called Jim, Craig and the girls (granddaughters) \"her pride and joy\" and how her face truly lit up when she saw them. Just a beam of love and happiness when she was around them. I will miss seeing her and Z together. He was the love of her life and she cared for him on all levels.
Finally, I will never forget her last July and how she beat everyone at corn hole.
My prayer for Connie...
Heavenly Father thank you for the beautiful gift of Connie's life and the all the wonderful years you have given us with her. She had a loving faithful spirit that we will all miss. We lift her up, in honor of the good we saw in her and the love we felt from her.
God please give us the strength to send her home in Your care, in the knowledge of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
Amen
