Rollin, Lee Ann and Melissa and Families, We are so sad about Connie's passing. We are also sorry that we are not there to comfort and love you. We have so many wonderful memories of times shared together and laughs that we'll never forget. Connie was always a jewel of clever comments and she was so kind hearted. May God bless you all during this time of loss and always. All we can say is, "thanks for the memories. We will cherish them always." Peace be with you all. Love You, The Clarkbars
