After surviving breast cancer and 14 months of chemo in 1980 with a 50:50 chance of survival when our daughters were 6 & 4 and then seeing our daughters reared to maturity (22 & 21), Connie was diagnosed with unrelated stomach cancer on September 20, 1996, and died on October 9, 1996. At 55, she is home with her Lord, having left a powerful witness of faith by trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ and her Father and believing that He was in absolute control of her life. She never demonstrated fear and never gave up the fight and hope for life, for His grace was always upon her. She was a remarkable woman of God and taught us how to live. |
