Virginia Civello Cauey
I have wanted to post some thoughts to Connie's memory page for some days now~~ I have spoken with many of our mutual childhood, high school friends and all of their comments were about how caring, friendly, funny Connie could be ( comments and prayers sent by: John Van Vrancken, Connie Mura Buquoi, Cecilia McNulty Deleany, Loretta Henriques Lodriguez,, Dominica (Domie) Ippolito Matherne and Virginia Civello Causey (me) We grew up next door to each other so we shared so many good times,:: especially remember some of those young teen age "king cake parties & "record dances" we had in the basement of our homes ~ simple fun times ~ ~ we grew up, moved away., got married and lost track of our "girls", but came together again in later years, getting together for lunch, playing cards, bonco, bingo etc ~~ one final special memory is of the year we all made "65" ~~ we got together to celebrate , had about 8 of us , rented a limo, went to 11AM Mass at St Louis Cathedral, had a wonderful "Jazz Brunch" at the Court of Two Sisters, then spent some $$$ at Hararh's,~~ then a slow walk in Jackson Square back to our "limo" and back home ~~ we love you Connie, know that you are resting in God's peace ~ Virginia
