**Rest In Peace Aunt Connie**

(Third from the left)

I cannot believe she is gone! She has been through alot the past month. October 3 she went into the hospital because she was really really sick. They found out she had a hole in her stomach so they rushed her into surgery. While they were performing the surgery they found a large tumor. They removed it along with part of her stomach. The tests from the tumor came back positive for cancer. The doctors told her it was a very rare and aggresive form of cancer but that they believe they got all of it out in surgery but they would not be able to preform a full body scan until she was fully recovered from the surgery. After that she had one or two more surgeries. She wanted to go home so bad but everytime they were going to release her she would end up running a fever so they would have to keep her a few more nights. She was finally released from the hospital over the weekend. This morning she fell getting out of bed, hit her head and was unresponsive and not able to breathe on her own. They got her to the hospital and she was having heart problems. At about 1:30 pm she passed.


Its hard to believe. I am glad she didnt have to suffer for long though. Watching my uncle go through what he went through with his cancer I did not want another family member to have to go through all that.
Connie, I will never be able to look at a cup of crushed ice without thinking about you. I have so many memories of coming to your house in Salt Lake. Thank you for putting up with me all those times I would come stay with you. You will deeply be missed by so many! I love you and will see you again someday!
