Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

• Connie was a wonderful, kind, caring friend with a beautiful heart. We loved her very much and we miss her. I enjoyed spending countless afternoons together, talking for hours and hearing stories and learning from Connie's experiences of raising four boys and I draw from her wisdom often. Connie was a very important part of our world at a very special time. From the bottom of my heart, Connie ... thank you. I wish I could spend one more afternoon together and I'd tell you how much you meant to myself and Jesse. And, although Brady & Ryan were younger, you were special to them too. You'll always have a special spot in our hearts, Grandma Connie. "Sometimes memories sneak out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks" I know you've been reunited with Brian and Willie and Sid's joined you too. I have great memories of you all. Heaven's got a beautiful Angel in you. With love, Laurie, Jesse, Brady & Ryan xo - Posted by: Laurie O'Neill and Jesse, Brady & Ryan McArdle (Family Friend) on: Apr 07, 2015

• Connie was a lovely, gracious and generous lady. My husband and I met Sid and Connie shortly after we moved next door to them 17 years ago. There was an immediate connection. You just know when you are meeting good people. We got lucky that day. Both Sid and Connie made our life so much easier in the last few years. When away, Connie looked after our house, the mail and most importantly our cat, Kee-tah (the Potz). She made sure everything was honky dory while we were away in the summer and in the winter which included looking after our "abandoned" cat. Not an easy job but she did it joyfully. While over coffee one day she said, "I'd like to try to look after Kee-tah in our house." So that winter Connie and Sid did just that. And the cat took to Connie (not so much Sid) and did not come home when we came home. In fact, the cat wouldn't even give me the time of day. That was Connie. She and I had many wonderful discussions over coffee. She confided in me that she had had breast cancer. She talked about all her children, grandchildren and great grand kids. She was soooooo sweet. My grandkids know her as Mrs. Connie, the cookie lady, who every time the grand kids visited us, came over with a cookie or five for them. You will be missed Connie. You are probably the nicest, most generous person I have ever met. Love you. Pat - Posted by: Pat Bruch (Friend) on: Jul 26, 2014
