I weep for Connie in reverent respsect of her devotion to family and honor. I loved Connie, everyone loved Connie. She never went a minute without smiling in her life. She had those big gorgeous eyes that looked at you with such trust and happpiness. She never looked down or away. She never did anything to be ashamed of. Tina, your mother never really grew old, not in life, not in sickness. Connie was class, she radiated an aristocracy that had nothing to do with money or power. She made everyone feel comfortable. It was a privilege just to have known her.

Please accept our sincere sympathy. We were fortunate to have met Connie on a number of occasions when she visited Skip, Margaret, Lauren and Andrew in Maine. She was a marvelous woman of great spirit. She will be missed.

Grandma Connie was one of my favorite people. She always had a story, or words of wisdom. I loved her as if she were my own grandmother, and I will miss her sweet face, and her loving heart. God Bless you and Keep you, Grandma Connie. You were a rare jewel, amidst a mountain of rocks. You will live forever in my heart, and you will live on as I tell my son wonderful stories about his Fabulous and beautiful GiGi Connie.

Regarding her talents in the kitchen, Mother maintained that the best thing she ever made was reservations (usually at Kopitski's or the Sabre Lancer.) Dad would pull up to the house only to find Mother standing in the driveway, handbag over her arm, ready to hit the newest eatery. "Norb", she would say, "the kids have already eaten, so let's go!". And go they did. Good for them!

Although I never met Connie, I know that losing a mother and grandmother leaves a huge historical hole in your lives, so I am happy to learn that Connie left you all with many wonderful memories to lean on and provide comfort. Our sincere condolences, Rosemary and Sam

As I get older and watch as my children choose their paths in life I've come to appreciate "Grandma Connie" even more. Connie was a model of unconditional love and acceptance. I don't think it mattered to Connie what paths her children traveled in their life journeys. She accepted and loved everyone for what they were. She never judged. So now she leaves a beautiful legacy and challenge for the rest of us- to love without counting the cost and see the worth of each person who comes our way. And, yes, Connie, I am so very glad you came my way. God bless and God speed. Anchors aweigh!

Thanks "Mom" Connie for providing an open, loving home for us active neighborhood boys. Johnny, Doug, Bill, Jeff, Dave, Dan, John, Kevin, Dave B. and I will forever have wonderful memories. Our neighborhood and the 7-Mack Center lunch counters were brighter because of your presence! Here's to you and Dad until we meet again...

There is just too much that comes to mind when I think of my sweet little Grandma Connie. She was a great lady, and left a wonderful legacy of love and devotion to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Te Amo, Grandma Connie. Enjoy heaven, I'll meet you up there someday!

Mom, thank you for your love. Thank you also for the laughter you brought to gatherings of our family, our spouse's families, friends, neighbors ... and even to other diners in the many restaurants we enjoyed as you would dance in the aisle when music was playing. Keep dancing in heaven.

Thank you Connie for all the precious memories and for all your wonderful family that I have had the pleasure to get to know. Without you I would never have my life long friend "the Gork". You will be truly missed but never forgotten.

We were so lucky to have met Mrs. Gorski at Lauren and Ben's wedding. What a wonderful lady. She must have been very proud of her entire family and especially thrilled with all of the beautiful grandkids. God Bless to all of you as you celebrate this wonderful woman's life together.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Gorski family during this difficult time. Connie was such a part of our childhood memories, growing up on Chalfonte. She was a special lady and will truly be missed by everyone she touched throughout her life.

We are all going to miss you so much Mom. And at the same time, you lived such a full rich life and touched so many with your kindness that time has come for you to be in heaven and cause a little ruckus up there and keep everyone smiling. We, your children, were so blessed to have you as our mom. Unconditional love and smiles and support. Thanks Mom, our kids thank you also, because we all benefitted from your love for us and our Dad, Norb.
