My deepest sympathy to Family and friends of Connie. She was one of my first boss's at PT services. Her energy and smile were contagious! She always talked about her love Phil and children in every conversation I ever had with her. They were certainly her world. I learned a great deal from Connie at a very young age, I will never forget her or the many talks we shared. It's been many years since I have seen her, however I can see her smile and hear her voice like it was yesterday.
