Connie was an incredible human being who cared for everyone she touched unconditionally.The magnitude of your love only one who has met can explain.Connie always put others first before herself. She had this infectious smile and did we laugh. When I met Connie I was very fortunate to have her as my boss for 6 years. At that time, I was the Nursing Administrative Assistant young and green.I felt like I hit the lottery with Connie. When I had Connie as my boss! I immediately felt at home with her and she always had this way of making you feel special.Connie mentored me; believe in me, seen things in me that I didn’t see in myself. Connie would always encourage you, cheered you on, let you cry on her shoulder, most important she was COMPASSIONATE. Fair and unbiased. She had so much love and energy. Connie you are now with my Mother in heaven. Your legacy will live forever through your friends, children, grandkids and so many others like me.I will always cherish the moments I had with you.God bless you and you are now an Angel of God. You have made your mark in this world and the good lord was ready for you. May we meet one day. You will be missed. Having you in my life was a Gift. I will miss you tremendously and my heart goes out to George, Debbie, Denise, and Laura and all her beloved Grandchildren. Bea Guzman Preusch

Dear Denise, Laura, Debbie and the entire Slivka Family,My deepest condolences on the loss of your Mother. Mrs. Slivka was one of the nicest "moms" I had the privilege of knowing growing up on the infamous Blackstone Avenue. I will always remember your Mother's kindness, generosity, smile and her generous car rides to TR on those cold mornings! We had to walk a long way back then! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.Sincerely,Sheryl and Lynn Wade
