    Connie will be missed by many. She was a dear woman. Funny, spunky, warm, giving, quick witted, I could go on and on. I was blessed to know her. Scott, Marla, Taylor & Carson, I am so sorry for your loss – you are in my thoughts and prayers. ~ Love, Alana

    “Your Word has been my comfort and a refuge when I’m weak, expressing feelings dear to me in words I cannot speak. Please build in me the faith and trust that Your Word does impart. And help me always know Your Love is greater than my heart.” Psalm 4:1 Revelation 21:1-5 ~ Lorraine Denson
