Day 166

Dear friends, family, and future friends,

Today would have been Constance’s ninth birthday. Constance’s birthday was a big deal and a fuss was always made. I was so thankful to have her as my daughter.

Tragically, Constance passed unexpectedly on Thursday, March 15, 2018, 166 days ago.

Constance was a kind, smart, fun child. She loved swimming, reading, the park, and her dog Otis. I particularly admire her joy and persistence.

We will be remembering Constance on Sunday, October 14th. We hope that you can join us. I will be dressed in business casual attire. Please feel free to wear whatever you’d like.

At 1:00 pm, Constance’s alma mater, Cherry Preschool, will be dedicating a tree in her memory.
