"Paul Thompson (John Thompsons brother) and I (Victoria Thompson: Pauls wife) loved Connie. She was the childhood friend of Pauls sister; Deb Thompson Mossburg and they were together all the time. Connie was a great sister-in-law to us! One memory we have is John and Connie had us over for dinner and what a great cook Connie was! I Remember that meal being one of the best meals We ever had! She cooked the steaks as good as or better than any restaurant chef ever could. She took such good care of John when he was in failing health and she loved him so much! We are eternally grateful she was in our lives and sorry we could not make it to the memorial service today!"
In loving memory of
