I’ll never forget how you welcomed me in your home when I was 14 and accepted me as part of your family! You were a mother to everyone who walked into your home! Like a second mom to me for the 7+ years I was a part of your lives! You always heard me out when I was upset and always took my side! You taught me a lot about how to be a mom and partner! You were such an inspiration and you set the bar high for any future mother in law that I may have! You took in anyone who needed a place to stay and a mother figure and loved them as your own! I love you Connie! I’m so sorry that this is real! I couldn’t imagine this happening to someone as beautiful as you! I can still hear your voice and witty remarks! You left such an impact on me and I’ll remember you forever! I think in a lot of ways we were the same. I like to believe that I have the same nurturing instincts as you! Thank you for being all that you were to me and all that you did for me! Sending all my love and prayers to you family right now! ❤️ until we meet again! Heaven gained a true angel! Love you always ❤️
