I have lot's of fond memories of aunt Connie and my aunt Vera. I remember their laughs and I can still hear their giggles. When we were young, I remember getting into aunt Connie's Volkswagon and head for the beach. I have no idea how me, my brother Eddie, Kristine my sister Chris, aunt Connie's son and my mom, Julia. Aunt Connie didn't know how to drive an automatic so, she always drove a standard with ease. We also went to parks and just had such a great time.
We always had fun when we went to the beach. Another fond memory was when she drove my grandfather Pedro Chavarria to Laredo, TX. to visit my godmother, Barbarita. We were at a stop light and my aunt Connie was not paying attention, maybe we were distracting her??? My grandfather informed her that the light had changed to green and my aunt Connie tried to put the car in gear to move forward and she accidently put it in reverse...My granddad was already on edge because he didn't like her driving..She threw it into drive and was giggling so loud...Granddaddy was not impressed...lol
I was fortunate enough to visit aunt Connie a couple of years ago and I have phone photos of our trips to Ozark. I will miss her because in her later years she resembled my own mother. Julia Garza was aunt Connie's eldest sister,.
