Back during the "Tuscola St" days, Aunt Connie always let me spend the night with PD whenever I wanted to, even though I had to help wash dishes in that big white sink. LOL She always made me and my family feel welcomed in her home. When my Abuelito & Abuelita Gonzales moved from Tuscola St to Bakersfield, CA, the Trevino family shared all our holidays with Aunt Connie and her family. Those are some of my best childhood memories. Aunt Connie always had a hug and smile for me whenever I saw her. She was a beautiful woman, inside and out, and I am so glad I had such a wonderful Great-Aunt to look up to and helped give me a great example of how to be a loving and caring Tia to my nieces and nephews. Thank you Aunt Connie. I love you and will miss you. Love your great-niece, Erika Trevino
