Such a beautiful soul and a heart of gold. I'm thankful I had the honor of meeting such a one-of-a-kind woman; one who could make you smile for hours and fill your heart with such joy. Her soul continues to shine bright and fulfill our lives through her daughter, Danielle. Dani, you truly are your momma's best friend and your love for life and positive energy makes this world a much better place. Your family is one in a million and I know your mom is smiling down, proud as can be. Connie, you'll be missed dearly but your legacy is one that can be heard around the world. Thank you for making this life a better one.

She soared into the heavens swift like a majestic eagle with her Dad and brother flacking both sides. Once in heaven she was greeted by family, friends and ancestors singing and drumming sacred Lakota songs as they welcomed her to the Spirit world.

Creator blessed me with a big Sister and a loving friend…I will cherish every memory and hold close to my heart all the countless times we spent together as sisters and best friends.

So for you my Sister, I stand today with the courage and strength to humbly say, "until we meet again." Long live your memory!
