The People Connection

A few weeks ago I shared a story in this little blog about a friend of ours who passed away. I shared about the brightness of her eyes that always sparkled, even in her advanced stages of dementia. I believe her eyes showed the beauty of her soul. Yesterday was Connie’s funeral and it was…
