October 13, 2014. Harper, Texas. Connie Myers.

Connie fought a long battle with cancer. Two days ago she died. She and her husband had moved to Liverpool in 2000, just after we did, except they moved permanently when they retired from Frederickton, New Brunswick. Connie was a nurse and Ross a doctor. They built a wonderful home overlooking the bold Atlantic, just down the shore from us. We new folks all dined in each other's homes. Connie was energetic and talented. She played the piano well and also the fiddle while Ross played the bagpipes. They often held kitchen parties in their home. Two years before their retirement, Connie had breast cancer. She and I discussed the process and the probabilities. She was upbeat and positive but two summers ago, her cancer returned. Her chemotherapy treatments began, one after the other. She was not expected to survive the summer of 2013 but she did, although on a restricted routine. Now she has gone. Her attitude was to fight against the disease with every tool in her arsenal and to stay alive as long as possible. She did fight the good fight and lived longer than anyone dreamed she would. Now we say Rest In Peace friend Connie. We will miss her.
