I grew up in the building of Connie and was raised there by my grandparents Anna and Erkan Sayrun. The people in the building became like family. Mrs. Montgomery as we called her then, was so kind and always smiling. She was always on the go and very busy, but always made sure to say hello and to spread joy. She had the most beautiful smile! Her son David was like an older brother to me. I will remember her for her laugh and smile. And the kindness she shared with my family!

My condolences to your family.

I met Connie when we were members of the Northside Friends of the Chicago Sinfonietta Orchestra. Whenever we attended any special events or the Galas, she always made sure each member went home safely. Once you were in her orbit, she embraced your presence.

I extend my condolences to the family.
Connie and I were both from Savannah, Georgia and enjoyed reminiscing about our hometown.
We reconnected when our lives crossed paths in Chicago.
She was the same Connie that I remembered in Savannah.
We spent a lot of time together while participating in childrens' organizations such as the "Better Boys Foundation" as well as organizing activities for our children.
I will always cherished our last visit in Philadelphia. Seeing her bright smile and unwavering faith.
Rest well my friend.
Love you,
Shirley Baul
