Dear Charles and Linda,
I knew Connie as I had worked for Dr. Edward Reiter for 40 years. My sister was in her graduating class at Western Hills HS. I am so sorry for your loss. We don’t always understand why it is any particular person’s time to reunite with our Father in Heaven.

Dear Charles and Linda,
I am so sorry for your loss. I got the honor of getting to work with Connie beginning of October 2022. She and I instantly became great friends and shared so much laughter with each other. She and I got really close she always told me how she wished I was her daughter. Connie was honestly like a mother figure to me. After I got let go from that job she kept in contact with me almost daily. She was such a sweetheart always checking on me. I was devastated when I heard the news. I can’t imagine how hard it is. My thoughts and prayers are with y’all and just know there isn’t a day that goes by I don’t think about her or wish I could pick that phone up one more time and hear her voice and her encouraging words.

Dear Mr and Mrs Spears. I had the pleasure of being Connie’s friend and working with her selling Jewels by Park Lane. We did the set ups together for many of the group parties for Bonnie Davis. Linda you should remember. Very fond of you. I was shocked to see this posting and to find out she us no longer with us. I had been thinking of her lately and thought of reconnecting and cattching up. She was smart creative andso much fun. I loved her. Please accept my sincerest condolences. Lovingly, Debbie Moss
