On a Wednesday early evening in mid March of 2020, just before the panic of the pandemic called Covid19, I picked up Connie and her roommate Rose. We went to a cancer treatment place in Encinitas, for Rose to have a surgery to remove lung cancer. We didn't have to wear masks or wait outside. We sat in the waiting room and prayed, with the TV on. Then we went outside to the most beautiful sunset in the parking lot. Connie put on a song with her phone, we had each discovered the song alone and then together, that we liked it. We stood in the parking lot towads the sunset, praying for Rose  as we sang outloud like we were with God. The lyrics say;"Nobody like You, God"  by Paul Wilbur. Connie sang very nice and with her strong voice.  Wonderful time. Less than a year later I sat at noon in that parking lot while Connie went inside for help with her own cancer. I was not allowed inside. When we went for Rose. Connie arranged it. Rose was well after that. 
I'm glad Connie got to spend her last days at her sister Andrea's home.  The year before when Connie was still strong, on April 8th 2020 we celebrated the passover Lamb, at my home .We tried to learn the Jewish customs for the holiday, with 7 people at the and our Messiah. The last time I saw Connie at Andrea's house, I believe it was March 31st, 2021, Jennifer and I set up a tea party size. passover meal, and had Connie put a scarf on her head and light the candle for the passover,  Connie had matzo cracker and grape juice. She was too weak to eat the other foods but I think she tasted the apples and honey.  Connie was a wonderful friend. When us Christians were not allowed to meet in church buildings, she showed up many Sundays at my house and we read the bible with live broadcasts and sang and danced. Thanks to the LORD for the gift of a couple years here with her. I plan to see her with Jesus someday soon. God bless you Joshua, she prayed for you, and your Mom that raised you,  and Andrea, and her family too. 

Connie was truly loved by me, and our son Joshua Lee Irion.  You see, Connie gave birth to Josh on 2/4/1988,  and gave him to me to adopt, at birth.  She met him many times and has kept in contact with him for the last 33 years.  He has always loved her and as she has loved him.  I just wanted Connie's family and loved ones to know there is a wonderful piece of her, here on earth, and will really miss her.  Throughout the birth and adoption, Connie became a very important part of my life.
If you want to reach out to Josh, you can contact me Nancy Irion Gummer at (239)851~0900
