"Auntie Connie" was one of the reason why my childhood was filled with some many happy days. I spent countless days at her house playing with, Shallia, Larry, Tericheal, and Suzclaudia. The Rutledge home was/is my "Home away from Home." Granny laid a solid foundation of God and LOVE for all of us, and her children/grand children never deviated from it. I always found comfort, inspiration, and love in the words that Auntie Connie spoke to me....that is why she will remain a permanent fixture in my heart. May this family allow God to be a Comforter for them during this difficult time. I love you guy!
