Connie was a character, yes, but also the definition of generosity. Her door was always open, her home-cooked food was delicious, and visitors never left empty handed. And, when she visited friends and family, she arrived with bags and bags of food. Everyone was welcome when Connie was present, and we all enjoyed the jokes and stories and laughter she brought to the gathering. I will always be grateful that Connie told my daughter, when she was a child, that she would love to be her “Nona”, too, and that if she needed anything, she could call her. Connie remained our mother’s friend even after Mom passed away. They were completely different women, but had a very special bond as wives of 7th Squad Detectives and then as mothers-in-law. Both our families are so lucky we were raised by Connie and Hazel. They are together again, watching over us.
Our deepest sympathies. Betty, Pat, and Bonnie
