My sympathies go to the family. Connie was an exceptional mentor and in particular to so many Girl Scouts including myself. Connie served as a role model for me during teenage years and I still find it incredible that she was willing to travel with Scouts to Europe. I admire her greatly and very saddened by the news of her passing. I am certain that she has a very special place in heaven.
