Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Kevin, Gregg, and Shannon, We’re praying for you and your families during this time. I wish I could have known Connie better, but I look forward to the time we’ll spend getting better acquainted in Heaven. God bless you all. Psalm 116.15, Pastor Tim Barnette
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I met Connie when I was working at the Rocky Mount Police Dept and she was working with the city. We always seemed to work and hang together at the Down East Festival by the country music stage. She was the most sweetest and nicest lady I have ever known. She could always make me laugh. She will always be in my memories and I am sure always in your memories and heart !
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Connie was such a great person and always very sweet and kind to me. Lots of memories going out to eat with her and the group from the City. With sympathy, Jim Sherrod
Kevin, Gregg, Shannon & Families, I will always treasure my memories of your mother. She was very giving and considerate of others. Her many acts of kindness will never be forgotten; nor will she. May Connie’s legacy live on in your lives and your children’s lives. With Much Love, Jennifer & Family

I know you have many wonderful memories of your Mother and Father and just hold on to them and they will take you through this sorrowful time. Debbie Winstead

As we make our journey through this life, death is our final battle. Whenever I am troubled, & lost in deep despair, I bundle all my troubles up & go to God in prayer. I tell him I am heartsick & lost & lonely, too, That my mind is deeply burdened & I dont know what to do But I know he loves me & I humbly ask if in his love hell calm my heart, for me& then I just keep quiet & think, only thoughts of peace & if I abide in stillness my restless murmurings cease. (Ps.3418) (John 316) Due to the ramson sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we know that we have the hope of seeing our loved ones once again. The Bible gives us hope, over & over again. Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. He that exercises faith in me, though he dies, will come to life again. (John 1125) Jesus also said I am the vine & my Father is the cultivator. (John 151) The Bibles tells us that there will be no more tears, no pain, or sickness & death will be no more. (Rev. 213,4) What a wonderful time, we can look forward to, seeing our loved ones once again.
