Never forget she is always with you.”

“Mike, Harold, and Diana – I am very saddened to hear the news on your moms passing. I only met her a few times thru Mike. During the few interactions I had, her free spirit definitely impressed me. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.”
“Michael, Dianna and Harold – Your Mom called Mark and I last year – it was a good surprise, she sounded happy and well. I am sorry for your loss, losing your Mom is one of the hard things that life offers. She will always watch over you and you will feel her when you need her. God bless and keep you all.”
“Michael,Diana,Harold Stosh and I send our deepest sympathy to you and your families. I know that your mother’s love and concern for you was apparent to all that knew her.I share the loss of her friendship with everyone who was fortunate enough to have her in their life. I have lost my generous, kind and loyal pal of 55 years. Connie was beautiful,popular and extremely intelligent. After high school she became my “Big City friend”. When I was getting ready for my wedding I met her in Philadelphia and she helped me find a wedding gown. I knew if Connie said it was the right one,it was. Uncle Sam took Stosh and I to California for two years and she wrote, telephoned and sent gifts. When I was pregnant she flew out and was there for my baby shower. I would add that she caused quite a stir among the single airmen that met her.Our friendship continued over the years.We shared joys and concerns and always a great deal of laughter. I will miss her more than I can say and will treasure my memories of her. You are all in our hearts and prayers. Stosh and Maxine”
“Diana,Michael,Harold I knew Connie as a friend in the years with my children we have maney happy memories. Your mother was always honest and true to herself. She always had you children to give of herself, she loved you always. I am truly sorry she has passed, Love Maria”
“I can only add the tears I feel inside for the sorrow at this loss of such a dear, charming and intelligent friend….She had a sense of humor I sorely needed contact with and a higher view of the human condition than most. As time goes on, and she goes on, I know her memory will bring you great joy as you remember the “ups” of her, even with the abrasiveness at this too soon passing and here I propose a toast for Connie, who knew more than most and wasn’t afraid to share the best and the worst, and still come out with a chuckle and heart full of love.My love to you allxxx00, who are the flowers she leaves behind from her well tended garden.”
“Dear Diana, Michael & Harald I’m sorry your mother’s Jersey friends (Max, Ginny & I) were unable to attend the memorial services. You all were very young when I last saw you, however, your mom kept me up to speed with the latest family news. Actually, what you probably don’t know is that your mom’s mom and my mom attended and graduated from Glassboro High School-back in the day. Gail Simon,your mom and I were roomates in DC on our senior class trip. Gail and I practically had to drag Connie out of bed in the mornings-the sight seeing not important to her-we won,got her on the bus in spite of her protests. Connie came out to CA when both Max and I were living there. I laugh when remembering that she and I were too nervous to move from our spot on the bed because we thought we might hit Max’s belly and hurt the baby. These are only a couple of memories I have of your very gorgeous mom who gave up the life of glamor (gladly) to become a wife and mom. Remember to help each other through this trying time of sadness. Peace be with you all. Lee Straub”
