Thank you so much for posting this. I loved being able to read it although I am so far away.

I can't even begin to tell you how I feel. I worry about you and Larry more than anything. Please know that you are in my prayers everyday. Connie was like another mother to me. I am so saddened by everything within the last 2 months has brought to your family.
I feel so blessed to have the gospel apart of my life and I'm sure you do to. To know that there is life after death and that we could be families FOREVER and all ETERNITY. What a blessing it was that day in May 2001 to be sealed forever.
I love you.

Jackie,
This is Michelle 'Downs' Parker, we really did get to know each other too well in the Bountiful 22nd ward, but I sure did have the wonderful opportunity to know you sweet sweet mother. For the short time she was in YW, and I was in the ward, your mother had befriended me in the most kindest way! She was full of kindness, smiles, devotion, and love! She would walk into a room and just have the biggest smile on her face, and you couldn't help but smile back. How greatful I am to have gotten to know a very very special woman! Connie will always hold a place in my heart, she had to put up with my crazy teenager days, and she did it so well, so much patience and love. I remember she was so proud of you and would talk about how much she loved you are your dad so much. It has been such a long time since I have seen her, but I still have so many memories of her, and I will always hold those memories close to my heart. I am so sorry for you, your family, and your dads loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. So very very sorry.
Love, Michelle

Jackie,
This is Kylie "Downs" Cherry. I was told of your mother passing just the other day and my sister helped me find your blog. I'm so sorry to hear of this sad news. I loved your mother! She was always so good to me, I worked with her in many of her different callings in the ward, and followed her to the singles ward for a while. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
I have heard so many wonderful things about your mom. I wish I got to know her, but even though I didn't get the chance to know her I am still inspired by her. So many nice things are said about her and I only hope to leave a legacy like that. You have many people here in Saint Louis who are praying for you and that will be here ready to help you get through this hard time.

Jackie,
I think I'm in shock. I had no idea that Connie was going through this. I last talked to her about a year ago, I am so so so sorry to hear of her passing. I have always thought of your mom as a dear friend, and I will alway remember all of our MANY talks at work about how much she LOVED you and your little family. Spending every day for those few years sitting next to your moms side taught me a lot. My heart aches as I think of all the fun memories, but mostly just her kindness and catchy smile! She always made work that much better. I am so sorry, and my prayers and thoughts are with you and your dad. I feel blessed to have spend time with Connie, and she will be missed. Love, Andrea Dent
I hope you don't mind but I found your blog via Haily. I am so sorry for your loss Jackie. I am glad you posted something about her as I have enjoyed getting to know her through you since she is such an important part of your life. I am glad to see you again. Jeremiah was so glad to see Christopher again at school. You up for a mall trip again sometime?
Jackie,
e-mail me at kristinnwalton@yahoo.com and that way I can add you to view our blog. We just went private. Thanks! We love you guys.
