Honoring Connie Edsinger: Support Her Farewell

Please join us as we pay tribute to the vibrant spirit of Connie Edsinger, a beloved member of our community whose sudden departure due to medical circumstances has left us all devastated. Connie developed an extremely rare but serious inflammatory illness called HLH.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a syndrome characterized by a rapidly progressive state of maladaptive hyperinflammation. It presents with a range of nonspecific signs and symptoms of multisystem distress that can overlap with other conditions, making the diagnostic process difficult.

Connie was the heart and soul of so many gatherings, her infectious laughter and endless energy lighting up the dance floor every time. Connie's love for life was unparalleled, matched only by her deep devotion to her family. As a cherished mother, grandmother lovingly known as 'Gigi,' aunt fondly referred to as 'Tia,' sister, daughter, and friend to many, she touched countless lives with her warmth and generosity. Her adventurous spirit took her far and wide, enriching her experiences and leaving lasting memories for all fortunate enough to have known her. 

Now, as we navigate the unexpected loss of our dear Connie, we humbly invite you to join us in ensuring she receives the farewell she deserves. Your contributions will help ease the financial burden of Connie's funeral and memorial service, allowing us to gather and celebrate her remarkable life and the legacy she leaves behind.

 

From the depths of our hearts, the Edsinger/Dyess families express our deepest gratitude for your support during this challenging time. If you find yourself unable to make a financial contribution, we kindly ask you to consider honoring Connie's memory by making a blood donation this year. Together, let's unite to honor Connie's memory and the enduring imprint she has left on each of our hearts.
