In Memory Of Connie Stone (1959 - 2004), Our Prayers Are With You
This is a tough moment.
I just learned that one of my readers, Connie Stone, did not make it through her mitral valve replacement surgery. Her husband, Mike, shared with me that there were heart surgery complications during her operation - specifically uncontrollable bleeding. Connie was having her second, heart valve surgery to replace a diseased mitral valve. Connie had previously had an aortic valve replacement twenty seven years ago.
Connie was 49 years old when she passed on April 24, 2008.
My thoughts and prayers are with Connie's husband Mike and the entire Stone family.
