Stylish. Warm. Friendly. Accepting. Humorous. Compassionate. Selfless. Tenacious. Brave. Adventurous. Spontaneous. Talented. Dedicated. Devoted. Loving. In the short time we knew her, these descriptors were so evident in Connie. Her life touched so many and in as many ways. In the end, we discussed death and what lies ahead. She firmly believed she would go on living beyond this world and into the next. Death What a Wonderful Way to Explain It A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, ?Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.? Very quietly, the doctor said, ?I don?t know . . .? ?You don?t know? You?re a Christian Man, and don?t know what?s on the other side?? The doctor was holding the handle of the door. On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness. Turning to the patient, the doctor said, ?Did you notice my dog? He?s never been in this room before. He didn?t know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, But I do know one thing . . . I know my Master is there and that is enough.? Rest in peace, dearest Connie, until we meet again. Our love, Norm and Pam

Connie taught me so much? she taught me to be compassionate, tolerant, to love unconditionally, to be patient, to forgive even when you feel you can?t and most of all to treat everyone with love and respect. I, could never be the person that she was ? she is one hard act to follow…but I do know that I have learned a lot from her and that her presence in my life has forced me to hold myself to a higher standard. I have been truly blessed by her friendship and I am so very thankful that God brought her into my life. I will forever miss my friend, my partner in crime, my beautiful, Connie… I miss all of the laughs, the mischief and the heart to heart talks.. I miss her so very much -there are no words to describe this terrible sense of loss. I am so very thankful for the time that we shared..she will forever hold a special place in my heart and my children’s hearts as well as all of the hearts of the children at the studio who knew her. Connie’s was a life well-lived because Connie made a difference. The lessons that we learned from her and the lives that she changed are all ways that Connie will continue to live on thru all those who she touched. Connie will always be present in my heart and every time I see 111, I will know that my friend is by my side.

Connie and I first met in 1968. Her husband John Garcia was a mutual friend of mine. It was love at first sight,but she was married to my friend. John brought Daniel to see me soon after he was born( a very proud dad).Due to our Greek heritage we remained friends even after their divorse.Later Daniel ,as a teenager would tell me to ask his mom out.We ended up married with Daniel as my best man.When he became a police officer he asked for badge #111 because that is my birthday.We were friend up to her last breath.

I met Connie in 1967; her sister Annie and I went to Oakland High together. Annie married Bert Cabrera and soon we were all dancing ‘salsa’ and just having the greatest times ever. Connie’s smile would light up any room. I do remember her love for Art; when she went to work for Swan’s in Oakland I wondered what kind of job she was doing there and then one day someone handed me the newspaper and began telling me that Connie had drawn and put together Swan’s advertisements which was a full page! I was so impressed and really proud I had known her. After we both got married and moved on in life, every so often we continued to run into each other along the way, she even came to one of my sons football games. We were so happy to see one another. When someone in our family was very sick Connie went to the hospital. When my grandson Ryan passed away 3 years ago Connie was there at my house weeping right along with us. I wish we could have spent much more time together, but grateful for the times we had. So glad we didn’t hesitate to say ‘I love you’ to each other on our last visit ❤️🙏 Connie .. you will be greatly missed Barbara Cabrera

Dear Tiffany and family, I have known your mother from the old Chabot Elementary School days when we were both Instructional Assistants.. She was part of our group and we spent time socializing throughout the years with Judy, Diane, Sandy, Sharon, Bernie, Barbara and others. It was always fun to be around your mother, she was so full of energy and was definitely a happy lady. Now she is spending time with your brother, Daniel, who she has missed for many years!
