SO SORRY TO HERE OF YOUR LOSS OF SWEET CONNIE MY LOVE AND PRAYERS ARE WITH U ALL.
So sorry for your loss.
Connie was one of the sweetest people I have ever met.
Connie was ‘just Connie’ and therefore very special. She was great fun,and so kind and uplifting. I hope that knowing so very many people love her gives you some comfort at this difficult time.
Dear David and Bo, We are so sorry to hear about Connie. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We pray that God will wrap his arms around you and give you comfort.
Sweet Connie was such a special person. So many memories of my life include her and the Walker family. I am blessed to have been a part!
May the certainty of joining her in Heaven one day bring us all comfort. Praying GOD will heal your hearts, Love you–Tanya
You will be greatly missed..thank you for always being a kind soul.there will always be a special place in my heart for you..thank you for always being you…
Our love, thoughts and prayers go out to the Walker family. I would like to share a poem. He Only Takes The Best, God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around her and whispered. ‘Come with me.’ With tear-filled eyes we watched her suffer and fade away. Although we loved her deeply. We could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating. Hard-working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
We are so sorry for your loss. My you and your family find comfort in the Lord during these difficult times.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rawls, Dr. Loynes
and the entire staff at
Soundside Healthcare

Connie will live forever in the hearts of those she touched. Please know that your grief is shared by many.
To all who knew and loved our Dear Friend Connie, she will be missed by everyone who knew her, no matter how she came into your life, she impacted us all. She had a very infectious smile and once you saw it, you had to smile too. Her kind heart and loving way, was so unbelievable to all she met. She was a dear friend, I met Connie 40 years ago, and even though through the years our lives took us in different direction, no matter when or where or what time I saw Connie she was always the same. My heart aches for all her family and Bo I just want you to know that your MOM was always so proud of her boys. My prayer for you and your Dad and the rest of your family is that God gives you the strength you need today and tomorrow and in the future, even tho she is gone from this world we know she is rejoicing in a Beautiful place called Heaven, So may you be at peace knowing how much love your MOM & Wife shared here on this earth with all who loved her dearly. She touched so many people with her beautiful spirit. Go rest now Connie and we will see you again. Always your friend, Vera
I met Connie 6 months ago and she greeted me with a comforting smile. I wish I could thank her for making me feel welcomed and accepting me as part of her F&B team. I see how many people loved her and the impact she made on all our lives whether big or small will not be forgotten..
I have so very many sweet memories of years past, and so much love for your family… Know my thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this time…
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless you and your family. Love, Bill & Evelyn Parker

A friend, wife, mother and an angel on earth. I have known Connie for several years and knew her as a staunch member of the Walker family. Always willing to help any of her friends and others in need of help. I loved her like a member of my own family. I will miss her. I know that she is in God’s hands now and with
Becky, Pop walker and all others that have passed from this life to a life with Jesus.
In loving memory.
