My condolences to Colleen and her families: So sorry to hear of your moms passing ,was not even aware she had been ill. Met her when she went back to school at Canadore, with my niece they would car pool together.From the beginning that smile was there and always a sense that she made you feel at ease and comfortable. Hope you find this in the future.
Deepest sympathies to Lori, Colleen, and all the family. I will miss Connies friendly smile and greeting when we met out and about.
Colleen, Lori, and families, sending our love at this difficult time. May you find peace with the passing of your mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother. Hugs. Louise & Allen Lauzon
Please accept my deepest condolences. Connie and I crossed paths 40 plus years ago when she worked at the Day Care Center and we stayed friends. In all this time, no matter the event or setting, we found humor and shared laughter every time we met. Just a very short time ago we met at the Independent, both of us leaning on our grocery cart. She said, “Hey, look at that. You have the same low-speed 4-wheeler I have!” We looked down at the carts and just broke up laughing. I will miss her. RIP Connie.
Lori, Colleen and families, We were so shocked to hear of your Moms passing. We enjoyed having her on our street when she was married to Jim Ross. She was always so happy to visit with our kids as they walked home from school. We are so sorry for your loss but we are sure she is so happy to be reunited with her gardener as she referred to Jim.
Connie was such a wonderful lady. Her smile and sincerity were a blessing in our world. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Susan and Don Berlingeri
Connie, gonna miss you. We had a lot of laughs over the years. You were always a very fine and funny lady. Sometimes there were tears. Like in King Kirkland when I told you to go easy on the homemade wine. By the time we got back to KL there was a flood of tears. Connie, like the candle in the wind, your light went out too soon. Hope to see you again, dont know where, dont know when. Bob Ross
Lori, Colleen and families, your mom may be gone , but her bright light she shared will never be extinguished.
