Connie and I met in algebra class at Haskell in 2007. She was a dynamo. She used to make me laugh so hard. We remained friends and stayed connected on Facebook. She loved her kids more than anything and would often comment on her kid's accomplishments. She would also talk about how much her mom helped out. Connie put on a tough exterior but she was kind and soft-hearted. She will be missed. Love you Connie. Rest in peace. Ryan Rash.
