"Connie, it has taken over a week for me to really believe that you are gone from this earth. There are so many things that I want to say in your memory because you were such a great person. You have such a huge heart and wonderful sense of humor. Those are the things that reconnected our friendship a few years ago even though we had known each other since high school. But I think the things the really connected us was we both had a great love for our families, we are momma?s girls, we talked about the pain of losing our Dad?s (and how we were so proud to have their Chevy pickups) and how blessed we were to finally have married the men we had always prayed for even if was later in life. I always loved hearing Gavin updates. God had blessed each of our lives and we knew it. I?m thankful for all our talks and the laughs. I appreciate the fact that you helped me focus on the good that God gives us. I will miss you until I see you again. "
