I know there’s absolutely nothing anyone can say to make it feel any better at all, but I’m sorry for your loss. From your posts, I’d have to say Connie was a truly wonderful woman and this is a damn shame. ---

I do not know you, and you don’t know me. But if there is anything I can do, if you’re coming through Atlanta and need a place or if you just need an ear, do not hesitate to let me know. The nearest I can imagine what you must be feeling right now is a memory that is now 8 years old, the loss of my best friend. He was my pillar and my confidant after having spent every day for 4 years together. I can only send you my deepest condolences. ---
