Connor was a miracle baby.  The culmination of a long-awaited dream.  The reality of her was more than we could have hoped for.  She was a fierce and loyal friend with a huge heart that never faltered.  Connor found beauty in the simplest of things.  Photography, painting, coloring, and rock collecting were artistic pursuits that spoke deeply to her. 

Mostly, she found beauty in those whom she loved.  She was a quiet, sensitive soul, wise beyond her years – with a mischievous side.  She always tried to make others laugh and be happy.  She was the joy of our lives.
