Connie and I were good friends back in 1st grade, then kinda lost touch in later years and not in same classes but it was always so fun to run into each other.  I loved her smile and fun ways.  It was great to talk to her at the tire shop.  I so wish I had done it more.  I had just been wondering about her, then I read of her death.  Life is hard as we get older. Prayers for you David, children and grandchildren and other family and friends.
