I am so very sorry to learn of Connie's passing. For years, we sang together in the Alto section of the Chicago Master Singers. She was a lovely singer and a lovelier person. She will be missed.

Connie was a valued volunteer with our rescue organization, A Heart for Animals but beyond this she was our friend. She kept us on our toes with her quirky wit and amazed us with her genuine heart and knack for putting others (dogs and humans) before herself. You will be greatly missed Connie. Thank you for all the dogs you helped save their lives by fostering (over 20!)and thank you for being such a wonderful person and friend.

Connie was an extraordinary lady, always cheerful, singing and I had great pleasure working with her. She was taken too soon from us; however, like she said not so long ago, her body is dying but her spirit will live on. She will forever have the special place in my heart and will miss her very much.

We are sending prayers to Connie's siblings, nieces, nephews and family and friends. We adored her, loved her, and appreciated her so much. Quite simply, it is an honor to say she's the best person I ever knew. She was God's daughter, and she loved the world and we just loved her for her kind and talented and generous soul. We are sending extra prayers to our Dad Bob, and Kirby. Connie's incredible sense of humor and passion for the arts will never be forgotten. Her dedication to helping others and helping animals will always be admired and appreciated. We send everyone our heartfelt prayers during this very tragic loss.

Please extend our sympathies to Connie's family and friends. She was a loyal and valued member of the Chicago Mastersingers, and she will be missed.

Sincerely,
Janet Reed and Phil Pagoria
