Dear Charles,Janna,Heidi and John Paul,

I learned just in time this evening to join you in celebration of the life of one of the most courageous, gentle and loving women I have ever met.

I pray the journey from the beautiful photo of Connie to the peaceful scene in her bed next to the window will help to bring you comfort in knowing you afforded her love, dignity and comfort to the very end.

Connie left a legacy of courage and elegance to inspire others that I hope will remain online for many more years to come.

Love and God Bless !
Millie, Eric and Brian

Charles and family,
When I first met Connie she was sitting not far from me in the Music Theory Class taught by Dr. Beck. As a freshman I was rather happy to have such a remarkable person in my class. She knew so much and was so willing to stand up for her thoughts and ideas. A spirited lady, to be sure. And she kept that wonderful spirit all her life. What an example to us all. Her writing was so expressive and succinct and I read it with such awe. Just like I feel when I hear your organ playing, Charles. God has Connie right beside him and she will welcome us when God changes our earthly address. You are all blessings to so many people, including me. Praise the Lord with songs of joy for the blessings in Connie’s life and the blessing she was to all of us. In Christ’s love, Sharon Struve

I sincerely treasure the opportunity to have experienced the quality of living and dying in faith, the exuberance of life and the candid reflections on death that Constance shared with us. Judi Cook

Dr. Ore and family,
It is with bittersweet feelings in my heart that I share these thoughts. Joy because your dear wife and and mother is no longer suffering in this vale of tears. Sadness, because you will not be able to hug her, tell her that you love her, or spend time with her. But remember the time you have been blessed with to spend with her and rejoice that she is in heaven and will see her soon!

My heart aches for your loss. Through her blog, I’ve come to understand what a remarkable woman Connie is…for her words live on in this life, as she does in her new life. I’ve enjoyed every kind and fun and witty and articulate and imaginative and startling and unique entry she has made in her blog, and I will miss the updates…and so I mourn for myself, as well. I pray for comfort and peace for you, knowing that our Lord is holding you all closely to Himself in His strong and loving arms as you mourn this separation until eternity.

With the love we all can share, because our Lord first loved us,
Carol
