I know her nephew, Preston. He is the best church choir director I’ve ever worked for and they can be a very mercurial type of person. Seems Connie was a big part of shaping that solid personality. I hope she knew .
George and Connie lived behind me and my husband William for all the 40 years we lived in Kingstree. Watched Boog grow up . They were good neighbors. Sorry to hear of your loss Boog and my heart goes out to you. Condolences from my family also. Robert and Polly Hanna, Arleen and Jimmy Tennes and Karen Whitmire.
