Deepest Sympathy to the Family of Connie. While I lived Georgetown Connie was my hairdresser at First Choice. When I moved to Hanover to work at Walmart I ran into her a few yrs back, she was such a lovely person. God Bless.

Fraser & Family very sorry to hear of your loss, was shocked when I heard the news.

— Brian & Karilyn Shearson, July 10, 2016

Our hearts go out to you all Fraser, Amanda and Sherri. Connie loved you all very deeply. Jayden was the light of her life. The days weeks and months ahead will be very difficult for you all. I pray that the memories you have will give you hope and encouragement during this journey through grief. If she would have only known how quickly she would be gone, I know that she would have hugged more, kissed you all more and said "I love you more". She would now want you all to remember that life is much too short so live, laugh and love more until you meet again. Heaven is just a heart beat away. Always remember that everyday you live, you get one day closer to eternity and spending it with your sweet wife, mom, grandma, Connie. I can only imagine what Dallas said when your mom arrived in heaven. Two beautiful ladies now watch over you, not to mention Norm & Rita. Keeping you all in our prayers. Much love, Debbie & Ovide LaRocque
