My beautiful friend Connie, I'm so thankful for you and all the heart memories we made together that I will treasure in my heart. We laughed and cried together. You enjoyed me reading to you because you liked my accent, smile. I remember spending that Saturday with you when Davis brought you home from the hospital and I read 4 chapters to you from the book, "Relaxing with God" by Andrew Farley. More so we read Scripture together that was shared in the book and we both treasured that in our hearts.
Or, me saying lauf, instead of laugh. And we would lauf together. Going for a ride to the plant place in Donalda and you being goofy and calling clouds "Cumulous nimbulous" and we roared with laughter. After leaving your home that day I saw such a cloud and took a pic of it and sent it to you.
Together we spearheaded, Together Courageous - Stettler Cancer Support Group, as both of us were diagnosed with cancer. We got each other. We did not have to explain, it was a knowing we shared that we could truly enter into each others story and Jesus with us, who is our anchor and Eternal Hope!
Some of our first "togethers" as a group was our first meeting at Tim Horton's, January 20, 2025 where 8 of us gathered and shared our stories - touching!
March 23, 2024 we did "Walk all over Cancer" on Main Street where you shared your story and heart for this group. April 12, 2024 we were at the Trade Show. So many people came by and were grateful to have such a group in our community and were moved by your story and your heart for people who are touched by cancer. June 10, 2024 we gathered at Lori's home for a BBQ. What a precious time we had together. Another event that was very close to your heart that you planned and MC'd was the Spaghetti Supper, September 9th 2024 at Coffee Tree for Caregivers where you loved on your wonderful husband Davis who walked with you with such love, grace and compassion. You also created beautiful centrepieces that was a loving touch to the meal. Despite the pain you were in, Connie, you graced us all with your presence.
Davis thank you letting me come into your family's sacred space when Connie went into palliative care. Connie and I shared something special that Monday night, November 17, 2025 as I quietly entered into this sacred space with you. Connie smiled at me and we smiled at each other. It touched my soul, it was a heavenly moment between friends. I will treasure this moment in my heart always. My last reading to my friend was on Friday, November 21, 2025. Oh Connie, I miss you so much and thankful that one day we will see each other again, because Jesus made the way for us to be reconciled to God. John 14:6 " I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me."
Till we meet again, my dear friend Connie! I love you and miss you, Wendy (& David too)
