In Memory of Connie,

A relatively new “Souper”, I didn’t personally know Connie. It was through poetry I made a dear friend. I admired her profound poems, filled with passion and timeless grace. A published collection of her work, keeping her eloquent wisdom alive for perpetuity would be a treasure, for humankind.

Connie possessed a warm gift, not only in her own writing, but her comments on my work revealed a reflection, of who she was: incredible, beautiful, magnificent, romantic, emotionally moving, possessing strength.
