Conda and I worked together about 30 years ago.  She was the sweetest friend and I never forgot her.  I also remember she had a strong faith in God.   Please accept my sincerest condolences and know you are in my prayers.

Still trying to process the fact that my dear friend has left us so soon.  I had the honor of working closely with Conda for 14 years at Baker.  Like she did for so many others, she essentially trained and taught me everything I needed to know to about the firm and its inner workings.  The thing that stands out the most to me when I reflect on Conda is that I can't remember a single time that she ever put her own interests above the interests of those around her.  Whether at work, church, or anywhere she found herself, she truly lived a life of service to others.  I miss my friend dearly, and to honor her memory I will strive to be more like her.   

Thank you God for putting this sweet dear friend in my life.  Serving with you on many Faithwalks will always hold the sweetest, Godly memories that I will cherish forever. I can see you hugging your sweet Mother Miss Peggy now. Until we see you again...I love you and miss you already!

The news of Conda's passing at such a young age hit me like a ton of bricks.  We worked together for five years at Baker Donelson and she was always such a great help to me as well as a friend.  I will cherish the many lunches with her and Ronnie that we shared.  I guess it is true that only the good die young.

Neil and Carla,

So sorry to learn of Conda's death.  She was such a sweet and caring person and I know that Mama Bryan thought the world of her.  I am sorry that I did not know that she was even sick.  Such an early age to be taken from you.  I pray that God will supply you with all the strength that you will need in the days and months ahead.

Love,
Janie

I had the honor and pleasure to work with Conda the last 12 years. She so willingly shared her knowledge. Her strength and laughter got me through many difficult times. I learned so much about leadership from Conda. I will miss my dear friend immensely. 

I have been friends with Conda for 30 plus years. She was the most giving person I have ever known. Some of my favorite memories were when we traveled out west, especially to the Tetons and Yellowstone. She loved going out daily looking for animals, her favorite were the moose. We laughed and enjoyed seeing God’s creation. I will miss her so much but no more suffering, can you imagine everyday praising our Lord.  Heaven just got sweeter last Friday. 

Conda hired me at BakerDonelson almost 15 years ago. She  was one of the most caring, kind, and thoughtful people I have known .  Being furiously loyal,  Conda always had our backs. She is in a much better place now reunited with her Mom. We will see her again. Sincerest condolences to the family.

Conda, such a sweet person. We had the privilege of knowing Conda and her family from our days in Chicago. We lived just a few houses down from them and attended church together. She is missed already but she is on HIGHER ground now for sure. Our love and prayers to all the family. 
 

I had the honor and privilege to be Conda’s neighbor for 15 years. We’d chat every time we’d see one and other outside, we’d speak every morning when going to work, or chat when we walked to our mailboxes. Not only that, she was a [TRUE] neighbor. She’d even watch my dogs when I was traveling. Who does that without anything in return?! This woman was this sweetest and most thoughtful person you’ll ever want to meet. I loved my neighbor so much. 

Sweet Conda, I’m so sad that you are no longer on this earth but would never ask you to return from the glory that you are now surrounded by.  We will all see you soon!  ❤️

I have had the honor and privilege to have known Conda for 32 years all during my employment with Baker Donelson. Conda showed me around the firm and introduced me to everyone on my first day of employment. Over the years Conda and I became great friends. Whenever we had business trips where both of us were going we would always arrange to travel together. Our last trip together was this past June for a meeting in our Atlanta office. I already miss her friendship and will forever miss her for as long as I live. The word says to be absent from the body is to be in the presence of the Lord so she is receiving her ultimate reward. I look forward to seeing her on the other side.

I have been so blessed to call Conda my friend.  We met  more than twenty years ago through our jobs at  Baker Donelson.  Although I was in a different city (Chattanooga), it made no difference.  We were only a phone call away and our working relationship turned into a genuine friendship that never stopped growing, and I will cherish it forever.  I will miss Conda, but I have precious memories of  her and  our many (work) trips, and  conversations that  will keep her in my heart forever.  She made this world a better place, but Heaven  is now her home.
