My thoughts and prayers to the Varner family for your loss. I haven’t seen Connie for years but I remember going out to the old neighborhood when I was little. Those were some good times. God bless.
I am so sorry about Aunt Connie. Mom just called this morning to let me know. I have to work on Saturday and I am sorry I can’t make it. She was one of my favorite aunts.
Melissa and Family, You have been through alot in the past months. Take care and know that we are here for you. I send my thoughts and prayers to you. Love Lori (mom)
We will not be able to attend the services for Connie but whe will always have a special spot in my heart. I have so many memories when she came to Moms house in Belle Plaine. One Xmas my father chased her and I under the bed (he was dressed his long red underwear{ and he was not happy that we where just giggling at him. Oh so many memories. I dearly loved her.
Dear Varner Family,
I am sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34;18) He has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25;8) With deepest sympathy,
You will be greatly missed by all..
