Connie

Connie, in Hawaii, never gave up the fight. Providence like the inevitability of the seasons Took her to reside in the glory she had earned Just as the dying leaves nurture in the spring Sweet Connie is still nurturing us, I’ve learned.

Lovely tribute to Connie, the only consolation is that she's reunited with her family, our loss, heavens gain. She was always so friendly and supportive to her fellow poets. Tom
