"I worked with Connie, Judy and Marie at the Trumann School cafeteria for a short while years ago.. I knew most of her family because I had lived there. Just learning of this tonight and want to express my heartfelt sympathies to all of her family members. She was a very kind lady that smiled a lot and was very easy to work for and fun to work with as well. Hoping the family is doing well and May GOD bless each and every one of you.
