I never got a chance to tell her, but I wanted Mrs. Connie to know that the last thing I ever did with Jason was to go Mother's Day shopping. Jason obviously loved her so much, and the beautifully written obituary explains why she was loved by so many. I had the fortunate experience of being reconnected with Mrs. Connie a few years ago, and it brought back so many fond memories of spending the night at the Whittle house and playing pool into the late hours with Jason. She was certainly like a second mother at times in my childhood, and although we would all probably agree that she left us too soon, we can hopefully rest easy knowing she is now at peace in heaven with Jason.
