Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Let God's grace comfort and guide you in this time of sorrow.
Connie was a wonderful co-worker. I am so blessed to have worked with her. Connie's smile and laugh were contageous! The best thing to catch in the hospital. She taught me a lot as a nurse. I will never forget all of the mentoring and mothering she helped provide me during my nursing career. I was excited when she was able to retire and set out to enjoy life with Rick. I have missed her on Do2d. Have loved her notes now and then on FB. She will never be forgotten. Her spirit lives on in all the nurses who have worked with her. God bless Rick, LaRae and family. With love and deep, deep sympathy, Katrina Beckman
