Dear Ray and Julie,
May you feel God's comfort and peace during this difficult time, knowing that Connie isn't suffering any more.
Connie and I were in homeroom and band together for 6 years. She had great slumber parties (Her parents were saints!). We reconnected when Julie and my daughters were at the same dance studio. Julie was the star dancer that all the other children looked up to. Connie and Ray were at the 50th high school reunion, and it was wonderful to see them.
May you hold on to your faith that you will see Connie in heaven one day.

My deepest condolences to Ray and Julie.
I met Connie at St Joseph School of Radiology. She was a very unique person and we shared time. I remember when she met Ray and got married the night before our graduation from X-Ray school.
She lived a wonderful life with him and I always understood Julie was a technologist also. Connie never minced words and told it like it was. I am very sorry we lost her so young, but also understood she has been sick. She does not have to suffer anymore, we have to endure the loss of such a wonderful person. Very happy to read she was an animal person. She is at rest with God. God bless this family!💔

I met Connie when we began Radiology School at St. Joseph Hospital in 1969. It was a fun filled 24 months. Many years after graduation she returned to work at St Joe to work in Ultrasound. She will always be remembered as a good person who loved her husband & daughter immensely. She was true to her friends & loving to those dear to her. I know the angels were there for her this last year. May she Rest In Peace. Donna Sax

When we were in school at St Joseph’s and she started dated Ray I would never have guessed that they would have such a long and wonderful life together.
May she Rest In Peace.
