I worked with Connie at the University when I was a collage student. She was always so nice to me and everyone else. I never witnessed her in anything but a good mood, always smiling. What a great lady, whom I have always admired. I’ve tried to follow her example by befriending young folks, because I remember how much it meant to me to have her as a friend when I was first trying to be an adult. I’m sure a little of Connie lives on in each of us who knew her. God rest her soul, and my perpetual light shine upon her, may she rest in peace.
So sorry for you loss.
