It's been a very sad week for me finding out the news of Connies passing.... Meeting Connie was one of the best things that ever happened to me. We shared great times and many laughs together. She brought even more to me....Our daughter which was a great blessing to both of us. Unfortunately we parted.and went are seperate ways. I will always praise her for raising our daughter and doing a fantastic job of teaching her manners and respect and all the other things that makes a great mother. You will always be loved and missed by all. RIP Connie

I am so shocked and saddened by Connie's passing. I'm sure that Eddie & JR welcomed her with big smiles and hugs. I'm so sorry for all who knew and loved her.... RIP Connie

I am devastated by the untimely passing of my mother, Connie Bald due to pancreatic cancer. The time between her diagnosis last Tuesday and passing last night was was, simply put, brutal, but she put up a courageous fight. Im proud of her tenacity and simultaneously relieved that shes no longer in the intense pain that marked her last days.
A few important points:
-I will miss my moms laughter and incisive humor. She was quick witted, perceptive, pithy and frank. My sister and I as a result consider sarcasm as a second language.
-She had a great personality and was a force of nature. She was articulate and intelligent. As a result, Im no shrinking violet myself. She taught me to be strong and articulate my opinions unapologetically and convincingly.
- She had that quality I hold above many others of being a great conversationalist. I mean, buckle your seatbelt because a conversation with her was a wild ride that could lead you from unsolicited self-defense tips to well-defined and passionate views about the undesirability of pez dispensers (Im here to eat candy, not to play games!).
-Wanda Sykes was her spirit animal and I think thats just awesome.
-You never wanted to make Big Red mad. Anyone who knows her well knows what I mean. The eyes and that look! While I never quite inherited her temper, I did myself master the look and I see it reflected back in my own daughters burgeoning mastery of this critical life tool!
-Lets face it, the lady was uncoordinated. But it did lead to some amazing moments of physical comedy in my youth, especially when she tried the then very much popular activity of rollerblading.
-She loved music and singing along to Metallica, dancing in the kitchen, and tickling me to tears; those are among my best memories with her.
-She was special of her own accord, but the act of being a mom is special in itself and the love of a mother in its unconditionality and fullness is invigorating and inventive. Ill miss the way my mom said Crys and Ill miss the version of me that leaves this world with her. She is with her brothers now, with God, at peace. Made whole. I love you, mom and Ill miss you.
