Deb,
I am shocked and saddened to learn of Connie's death. Connie was such a beautiful person, inside and out. Even though I haven't seen her for a long time, I feel like I have lost a true friend.
Please know that I'm thinking of you, and all of your siblings and entire family.
Fondly, Madelyn Tursi
