On behalf of Orlando's family ( Christina's Husband)

Our Love and Prayers are with all of you. Connie was a remarkable women.The one time I had to joy of spending time with her as our families joined last Easter, I found her to be one of the most loving,considerate,strong and confident individuals I have every met.

She was truly the centerpiece of her family, always ready willing and able to make the difference that needed to be made that symbolizes a true FAMILY and the Values that represent just that. Connie's very deep strength in her Catholic Faith was the core of her sole and the true strength of her existence. I know she is at peace with our Lord and the Blessed Mother accepting her new role. A ANGEL to her family. While she may not be here in life, the essence of her wonderful soul is with all of us forever. Her Spirit is the light within all of your hearts and her memory reflects that light. Peace be with all of you.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your great loss of Concetta. Words don't always ease the pain when you are grieving the death of a loved one, but we hope you will find hope in Jesus' promise of the resurrection hope (John 5:28,29) when he will rise up tho sleeping in death (John 11:11) restoring them back to life, on the renewed paradise ( Acts 24:14; Luke 24:43) what a wonderful blessing to look forward too. Until then, may God grant you peace and comfort during this grievous time.
