Pamela                                                        Connie's eldest daughter, said that ".... when I (she) was a kid, we had a couple of ducks in our surburban back yard and they nested and laid eggs. After they did not hatch, Mum wanted to show us how the baby formed inside the egg. We opened one of the eggs, thinking it would be a dud, but low and behold, the duckling was barely alive and we valiantly set out to save it. We set up a little incubator in a shoebox, with a light bulb, and fed him with an eyedropper. He survived and we named him Lucky. What a wonderful teachable moment for all of us. Frank, my brother, absolutely loved that duck. The saddest thing was that one day we had some kids over and ...one picked Lucky up by the neck and ...bye bye Lucky. That part was awful. I can still remember how sad we were. Mum hid her own tears to comfort us ... but it instilled in me the desire to love and protect animals. Mum also saved a kitten from certain death on the freeway (motorway).  

Allison, Connie's second eldest daughter wrote the following verse for her Mum's funeral:

 "for the unloved, a refuse for the neglected.

 An egg left behind in a nest when all other ducks have waddled away. Reclaimed and nurtured into a new life to be named Lucky.

O beautiful mother-we were lucky to have been loved by you

" A heart larger than your 5 foot frame. Shards of your latest compassion coming through the door.

 A lost puppy, a dilapidated cat with a crooked tail, a home".

       "Its so melodramatic" as Connie would say.   

and  

"O honestly, you girls".    

Are we not lucky to have all this information today.
