It is so heart breaking to say that we have lost, a most wonderful, loving, spirited woman.
Connie Lorr my friend, I will miss you endlessly.
How will I survive without all of our Grandma talks?
You were the best, for "talking" me home while I drove through storms no matter what the hour or keeping me awake and checking I was home safe. I will miss our clothes fittings that lasted 3 hours at a time, our chatting online endlessly, climbing snow hills at the age of (ahem over 50ish) and laughing out asses off endlessly about everything and anything we chose.
You taught me to always be myself and those who don't like the real me can blatantly f&ck off. I always loved your courage and strength. Your endless love and kindness, always showed through, your spitfire spirited sarcasm and humour, those who didn't understand it were really missing out.
When I moved back to Windsor and we bumped into each other we were immediately friends and laughing...as we always did. I love how, we were always the same, no matter how much time passed.
When I brought you my wedding dress and explained my vision, you didn't even flinch, you saw my vision and helped me create my dream dress. When I refused to pay 200.00 a meter for the black and white floral organza, you came up with a way to make my black and white vision work and tirelessly made it happen. Hand dying applique over and over and over until it was black enough. We changed the vision slightly but created a beautiful dress together. How many wonderful hours we spent sitting and sewing those darned applique on and figuring out how to disassemble the dress and recreate it. How much laughter and swearing we did! I loved it.
You recently told me when I was sick and couldn't visit that we would do it soon and that you were feeling pretty good and not to worry. He had a huge hug. Little did I know that, that would not happen. You were always protecting others feelings, holding their hearts dear.
My friend, I cannot say how I will miss you, there are not enough words.
I love you, my dear Connie, I adore and will miss you so.
My condolences to Percy Edwards and her girls, Grandchildren family and friends. Much hugs and love to you all. <3
