Shirley Richardson has sent you the following message from the memorial website dedicated to Vera Constance Paris:

Dear Conn,
We celebrated your life yesterday in Waterbury. You would have been proud of how much people loved you and valued your gifts. You cousin Quinn ministered to the audience by using the meaning of your name. Vera Constance means faith, truth and consistency. I wonder if you knew that. That is truly who you were in the natural. He said "everyone dies but not everyone lives". You lived a great creative life. You were a great leader and example to many people. Well my sister, I will see you again sometime later in the future. In the meantime enjoy your rest and peace with Jesus. Love and miss you so much.

My Sister- Aunt Con, your passing has left me with an un-welcomed empty space in my heart. It will take some time I know for me to stop calling you, and planning our trips . I want to hear your voice right now . I'll call you right now and I know you won't pick your cell. So, I listen to your messages you left me as if you just called me back. Thanks for leaving the messages, they will help my heart to heal. I love you and miss you always.  Thank you for being the Matriarch of the family which makes me love more.  Thank you for letting me be your first fashion model. Your clothing designs were 50yrs ahead of its time. Sheila
