Dear Family, I met and worked with Connie in Orlando and found her to be a wonderful nurse educator dedicated to her practice and patient care. Her kindness and compassion served all who were fortunate enough to encounter her presence personally or professionally. Please accept my sympathy in the loss of Connie and I pray God will comfort and sustain you during this time.
