Connie Bowden was my first ever friend when we were both about three years old. We remained friends all through school at Baker, often in the same class in elementary school and high school. Then, due to life's circumstances we were separated for years at a time but each time I saw Connie we talked as if we had been together just the day before. We had just connected on Facebook on the Baker High Page and phone calls and were planning on getting together again the next time she visited her daughter in Jacksonville. That was not to be. Connie was a very special person and I know she is still missed terribly by her family and friends. Rest in Peace my dear friend, Connie.
