So sorry for your loss- Connie was a gem and will be missed – so enjoyed the many gatherings on her deck and the sound of all those beautiful wind chimes -,you are in our thoughts and prayers
Prayers for you Deacon John and your family for comfort and strength during this time. God bless 🙏.
Our families grew up together in Bellevue across from the old church on franklin street and played in the park we all felt we owned because there was so many of us. Our mothers would call for us to come home for dinner and we would just put them on ignore .Good friend and lots of fond memories growing up.
My deepest condolences to you Melissa and your Family.
Dear Deacon John:
So sorry for your loss! Connie was such a gift to our Bellevue missionoffice with a wonderful array of technical skills and, above all, a deep love of the Church’s global mission. I have no doubt she will receive a warm embrace and ” Well done good and faithful servant” from the Lord, Jesus, himself! Will offer mass for Connie and all of you this evening.
So sorry for the loss of your loved one, My condolences to you and your family at this time.
My wife Cassy, had the pleasure of knowing Connie in grade school at Bertha Barber in Bellevue. John and Connie were married one week prior to our wedding at St. Mary’s in Bellevue. After having lost track of her over the years, we discovered them during Deaconite Formation. Connie’s grandchildren stayed at Cassy’s family day care in Bellevue. So saddened to hear of her early demise. Such a wonderful hard working woman who was devoted to caring to John the last years of her life . God bless the family.
Melissa, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts during this time.
So sad to loose a great lady. Always happy and willing to help. I too will miss the deck parties and family time. My love to the family.
Teresa and Family,
I am sending my heartfelt condolences and prayers to you and the family for your devastating loss. I know the pain is unbearable right now and no words can change the fact that you don’t have your mother Connie. Teresa, You shared so many funny and heartfelt moments with me and your family has so much love, it’s that love that will comfort you and the memories that you shared ease your pain. May God comfort you and give you peace. Caroline Barnes and family
I will truely miss her and her kind heart. Prayers to the family.
Dear Deacon John, Teresa and Melissa and family, we were very sorry to hear of Connie’s death. She was such a shining example of love and service. Since her retirement from working at the Columban Fathers’ offices, she stole our hearts watching her care for her beloved husband. We miss sitting behind her and you and your family at 11 a.m. Sunday Masses at St. Mary’s. Be assured of our love and prayers for her and for all of you. May Connie now be resting in the everlasting loving arms of Jesus our Savior! May God comfort you with His Peace, Love, Presence and Promise of eternal life.
(Elaine and Warren Davee)
