We were greatly saddened to hear the news. Connie was truely one of a kind. She was one of the first I met moving to Boscobel and it was a joy the years spent working with her. She poured her heart and soul in everything she did; from work to family and church. It was often she talked about how proud she was of her children.
She was like family and will never be forgotten

Dear Pierce family... I was so saddened to hear of Connie's passing. She was such a big part of my life as a child and teenager. "She was a great mom to many "... I was one of those many - thank you for sharing her with me.
Classy, loving, beautiful, funny, talented, generous, strong... these are just a few of the words I think of when I remember her. She was definitely a great influence in my life and I'm so blessed to have known her. There is no doubt that her passing will leave a void for you all. I hope you find peace in knowing that she is reunited with Gary and Kristie, Matthew and other family members in Heaven.
Sending lots of love and hugs to you all - you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Your family was the special connection to Ulve's IGA as your Dad operated a meat market with the support of your Mom. I have fond memories of your parents. May the wonderful memories you have of your Mom guide you in this time of sadness.
