Connie and Pat Stevens were my best friends in school. I last saw Connie and Gene several years ago when I passed through Denver to my daughter’s new home in Colorado Springs. Last year I tried to call them several times when I was in Colorado and left messages, so I was not surprised to hear of their passing. I understand Gene also passed away last year.
I will certainly miss her.
