Emily, Amy, Martha Jane and Danny, all of the Rice family are sad to hear of your Mother's passing. I remember so fondly those years when we lived next to all of you. Connie was such a wonderful neighbor and enjoyed her life to the fullest. She taught me how to "stitch" and we spent many hours doing so when we should have been doing other things around the house. My sweet husband, Larry, just passed away 2 months ago so I know the sadness and sorrow you are all feeling. Please know my prayers and thoughts are with you all. Larry too loved the hummingbirds and so I know that he and Connie are enjoying them and so much more in their new home in heaven. Would love to hear from you. So thankful that God put Connie in our life and that we got to be such good friends. May God bless each and everyone of you. She loved her family so much and was always so proud of you!

Our prayers are with your family. Connie was a good friend and neighbor when we lived there. I spent many hours with her "sitting and stitching".
She had a real zest for life and was a loving and caring woman.
I am sure you all have many wonderful memories that will help to lighten your hearts.
