RIP Ms. Connie 💔

Ms. Connie was diagnosed a few days ago with lung cancer and liver failure. She wanted to go home for her remaining time. Fauddy just let us know that she has passed (5/13/24). My heart hurts for Shannon, Faud, Taylor, Maria, Luie, and all those grandbabies. I’m glad she was able to meet the grandchildren and watch them grow over the years. No doubt that she will be missed and this will leave a void in a lot of hearts. Rest peacefully Ms. Connie. You worked long and hard enough, it’s your turn to rest. We love you.
