Connie was my grandmothers' sister's (Christine Cistaro) daughter, and as a child, teenager and adult I remained very close to her and especially to Connie's daughter Barbara Greco. Even with the miles between Kenosha and California, I always felt the warmth, love and kindness from all. If I was visiting Kenosha, I was welcomed for a Barbara homemade meal, discussions on the days in Kenosha when we were all together, or how the Packers were doing. I was always in awe of the beautiful relationship that Connie and Barbara had for so many years. The love they shared was intense and so real and the time they spent together was daily. They knew the challenges of life could be overcome together. The loss in this physical world hurts, but her spirit in heaven will guide her daughter, myself, and others to remember her with love. I will miss her tremendously, but she is now without pain and has reunited with her parents, and the many family members that welcomed her to the gates of heaven, May God Bless her soul and give us all the strength throughout our daily lives, knowing that Connie will be within us forever.Love,Johnny Rocknowski
