In Loving Memory of Connie Hyman

John 5:24  “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.

Connie and I were neighbours and then we became friends. She was indeed a very special lady, always a smile on her face and one who loves God. She not only speaks of Christ but she showed her love for HIM boldly. 

She introduced us to Grits Casserole with sausages and we became hooked on it.  Now, when I make it, it will be a constant reminder of Connie. She made us feel comfortable and so at home whenever we visit her. She always made time! A true Southern Lady and more! Not many today share this special trait that she has. 

She loves baking, and I have seen her baking for someone many times and she does this with love. I don't think I have ever seen her hesitate to do something for anyone. 

I have not had the chance to know her as long as many have in her life but the few years she has been a friend, one can easily love this lady! I will never forget the one Saturday when we played board games in my home, the game of Life. We had so much fun and she is always a joy to be around.

Many of us have lost such a dear dear friend and we will continue to remember her and love her. She will not be forgotten. Saddest moment was when we found out of her passing and into the hands of the Lord she is now. She is at peace.

She loved her gardening on the cosy porch of hers and watching the birds. I always thought she had the loveliest porch, nice and green! She had green thumbs. I always looked out for her when we walked pass her home, hoping to catch her for a chat.  There were many times I would drop by at her home after work, past midnight and share a few moments  with her. When a friend knocks on her door, she always invites you in. 

Even with her passing, she is still bringing people together. I know she made an impact in my life just by knowing her, praying together and sharing each others' sadness and worries.

She remains in our hearts, a piece of her and sweet memories shared between friends. I am heartbroken and at the same time I know she is happy celebrating with Jesus. Rest well my friend and until we all meet again someday. 

Beautiful inside and out.
