Sam shared the news of Connie's death with me today. Connie and I go back about 25 years--I followed her wherever she worked and she kept my hands and toes sparkling for my corporate training work. I knew her when she battled cancer the first time and was persistent and victorious. She also was determined that her 3 sons get a solid education and work in the professions. I followed their growth and development and, like Connie, I'm proud of their work and their achievements.
Connie and I also shared a love of Broadway shows, books, art and culture. And both of us had Brooklyn roots. Bay Ridge for me. Mom was from Sunset Park and Gram was from Williamsburg.
Connie, I'm sad to see you leave us yet I know through you and through others in my life the toll of a disease and when it's time, it's time. May you Rest in Peace knowing that you left your touch upon this world just as you intended.
