Chip & Tina, Tom and Grandma Pat, and the entire Dutton family, words cannot express how saddened I was to hear of Connies passing. I pray each and every one of you can feel the Good Lords arms surrounding you with each kind word of sympathy and love. As hard as it is to lose someone so dear to you, please try and find comfort in knowing what a simply AMAZING place she now is in- and that you all have a BEAUTIFUL guardian angel to watch over you all. Hugs to each of you.
Much Love,
Sarah Volker- Clemens and Family

We are saddened to hear the news of Connies passing. So many conversations over the fence, and then some bantering on Facebook. I enjoyed her wit. Couldn’t ask for better neighbors. Tom, Guy, and Chip and the entire family, know that our thoughts are with you. The Clarks
