Sending sincerest sympathy to Mr. Conner's family! I saw the obit and wondred if he was actually kin to us (grandmother). My grandmother(Clara Faulkner) was a Conner from Floyd and has been gone many years now. Some of her siblings included Alvin, Elvin, Annie, Albert. Shi was his grandparents. ..just curious. ..also sending prayers that our Wonderful Saviour Jesus Christ will help to comfort you at this time!
