I have a lot of good memories of visits with Connie over the years; I know Karl thought a lot of her and considered her a friend along with his professional work with her. We went back quite a few years, Karl and I sublet her “in-town” apartment the first summer we were married! May you find comfort in many good memories and God Bless your family.
Wayne Wetherelt Jr. says
My thoughts and prayers are for all of you. I sure enjoyed the visits from your mom and dad when I lived in the Stacey area and when I lived on Wilbur Creek. Your mom would call and visit with me and I so enjoyed it. All those years in 4-H created a wonderful friendship and I treasure the memories from both Connie and Don. May the memories you cherish help you through all the days ahead of you. Friends Wayne Jr and Serena Wetherelt.
