I am so sorry for your loss. It's so hard to lose someone we love. Notice what God wants to do and promises to do for you- Isaiah 25:8- He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces- God will reunite you with the loved one you lost, and bring to an end death forever. I know it's still hard, and I am so sorry for your loss.
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss and may the God of all comfort be with you during your time of grief (2 Corinthians 1:3).
Though I did not know Connie well, she was my name sake. My mother, Joyce Robison Tippin, from Portsmouth, VA was her good friend; grade school through high school. They remained in touch and friends all these many years. When my mother would come to Richmond to visit me, she and Connie would get together for a visit. My mother thought a lot of Connie and loved her. Connie will be missed.
