So very sad to hear of Connie’s passing our talks on the phone, e-mails, and the many years you were a vendor at the Sparks Flea Market. Ray would come home and tell me what a mess Connie and Linda’s place was before the Market and how it would ever be ready for the show. He was never disappointed. Linda I am so sorry. Connie will be forever by your side just as I feel Ray.

Connie was a good friend of my sister Marty. I called her Connie Sue because I believe Marty called her that. She will be missed by many people. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing.
