IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR STEP-FATHER- BILL CONNOR

I am sad to inform you all that our (Jenn and I)'s step-father Bill passed away from what is beleived to be a sudden heart attack. He passed away Sunday night 2/10/08 in his home where his wife Terry found him.

We will miss you dearly Dad and remember always the memories we shared. I can think of a few as I sit here now. Like remember the conference you had in Kings Island. We road so many roller coasters. I remember walking around one night and you winning a giant stuffed animal. We went to so many amuzement parks and stuffed tissue paper in my shoes to make me taller!! Remember the "bear mountain" you built in my room!! wow, Every time you went on a trip you brought me a new bear! I remember camping out on Pikes Peak in Colorado and watching the races, and the little chipmunks running around. I remember always wondering (as a kid might) why you drank Coke instead of Pepsi, I mean they look and taste the same...right? Well NOW I know why because I am a Coke person myself. You were always there to talk to us when we needed it, and make us feel better when we were sad or hurt. Like that time I was trying to walk shadow (our huge black lab) and instead she walked me!!! Down I went on my roller skates!! You put a bandage on my knee and sent me back out!! lol!! You were at all of my gymnastices meets to root me on!! Thanks! I'll never forget the look on Jen's face when you gave her that car!! The Fiero?? Jen also remember's very well the trip that you took her on. You guys went to Washington D.C. She said she was so happy because you got to spend a lot of quality time together. You went to a really fancy restaurant and she surprised you with a cake for your Birthday!! And the ski trip we all took. remember mom almost got hurt? We were yelling "fall over!!! fall over!!" Man oh man! Oh and the pool you had put the back yard when we lived in Springfield, IL. Ohhh the memories, we could go on forever!

We just want to say Thank-You for being our dad and for being there for us! We will miss you always, and keep you in our hearts and minds!! WE LOVE YOU DAD!!
Love Tera and Jennifer
