I shared the same birthday with my Aunt Connie. We were Taurus and she told me all our positive points no negatives. As a child I could share her chocolate if I could find it. It was always in the same spot, and I then could share it with her. Aunt Connie had the easy laughter I loved...the calm that I craved..oh and yes the chocolate that comforted. My Aunt told me that Tom, my husband, so new to our family was great and the best at wearing turtle necks. Always unconditional acceptance and Tom loved her easy going nature as well as her famous cheesecakes and rice pudding. For so many more reasons I will miss her so much. On our birthday I always have and always will toast to my Aunt Connie.
Love your niece Denise and Tom

With death one can reminisce about a person's admirable qualities and deeds and move on from them, and there are aspects of them that survive in their children and grandchildren, through genetics and influence. With Connie there were strangenesses and eccentricities that, if you had them too, you spent a lifetime being jibed or corrected for them. If your thoughts were scattered, the world might remind you with career setbacks. If you naturally viewed things through your dream world instead of how they really were, many would admire your faith in someone else but you might not pick the right someone else all the time. She, though, was always able to wave away any notion of limitations, and even thrive under them due to her street sense and good humor. That is why I have seen in some of my relatives' faces and heard in their voices a certain bitterness to their sadness, that a part of them, of us, is for the first time alone in the world, and will be for the remainder of our time. We will miss coming home to her.

My cooky grandma made the best meatballs this side of Naples and will always be the Mrs. Brooklyn, no nonsense except love and kindness. Her lifes mission to me was to make everyone laugh AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and of course steal my nose. Always the toughest cookie around. Grandma I already miss you so much but im glad that you wont miss your beloved Pete anymore.
Give everyone hugs and kisses for me up there.
Your mashugana,
David

Being with Pretty (as we Yoerg grandkids called her) meant unconditional love and acceptance. I am so grateful to have a truckload of fun, warm memories. She brought levity and a pinch of silly into our world.

Aunt Connie was one of a kind. Brooklyn's best. Loving, forgiving, relaxed and humorous, she could lift your spirits with gentle teasing. We lived in a "commune," with extended family housed on three floors of our apartment building. After school, I usually stopped on the first floor to visit my aunt before heading up to my apartment. She had this special "cubby hole," with a copious supply of candy that shared space with corporate papers and stationery items. After she gave me a stash of candy -- complicit in my mishchief -- I knew she would never tell my mother, her sister. When I married Richard, she welcomed him wholeheartedly and always made sure he took home some rice pudding -- the best, according to him. We shared many occasions with my aunt and her family. During this forced period of social distancing, I reflect on how secure we felt as children. There was always someone in the building we could turn to: aunts, cousins, siblings, grandparents, parents. And this sense of belonging continued in Breezy Point, where we spent many memorable summers together. Aunt Connie had many passions -- chocolate, green tea, dancing, and reading among others. But crowning all these was her love of family. Although she has left us, she created wonderful and eccentric memories that will keep her alive in our hearts. May God keep her in His grace.

Aunt Connie was very different than her sister, my grandmother, in her own quirky uniqueness. I won't be able to think of aunt Connie without hearing her call me mashuguna, which is Yiddish for silliness or craziness. The word can be used derogatorily but we used it playfully, and I can't think of a more apt word to describe my great aunt. Aunt Connie accepted you as you were, and like her sister, didn't seem to care if you didn't approve of her lifestyle. She was comfortable in her own skin and I will always remember her as a woman who spoke her mind. I love you and you will be missed aunt Connie ❤

As a child, I loved going there because she treated me as if I was one of her children. I will never forget having ice cream in her bed and I spilled some and I freaked out. But not Mrs. D. she was like ah don't worry about it and I can still hear her say that today. She was an awesome lady, which she will be greatly missed. Margaret Moretti

Aunt Connie was always quite the character. A stark contrast to my grandmother (her sister), there was never a dull moment with Aunt Connie. One of my most favorite memories was visiting Aunt Connie at her Brooklyn house and her sending me home with milk jugs full of Brooklyn water because Brooklyn water was the best water (obviously!). She was so loved and will be so missed. I know she’s up there causing all kinds of trouble for Uncle Pete and conspiring with her sister ❤️

Aunt Connie was like a second mother to me and my siblings. My earliest memory of Connie was when I was a little boy. She would often stop by our apartment after getting off work to say hello, often bringing a little gift for me. After she married Uncle Pete and had children of her own, her apartment on the first floor was always open to us cousins who lived on the third floor. I don't remember her being anything other than cheerful, tolerant and loving, and she had a great sense of humor. She will be missed.
