2 Condolences
I was raised in the Church of God in Shambaugh, IA. Rev. Marston was our pastor. Connie and I enjoyed the same Sunday School classes. David was somewhat older. I was randomly going through obituaries and saw this posting. Sorry to hear of Connie’s struggles over the last few years. She is rejoying in the Lords house today, no pain or suffering. Praise God. My condolences to her family. May you find peace and comfort in Gods love.
I knew Constance well in the 1970’s. She was a creative and imaginative individual with a good heart. She will be missed.
