Although I hadn´t seen Connie for many years since she moved out of our neighborhood, I ran into her a couple of years ago. She was so proud of her family and seemed very happy. Connie was always so friendly and easy to talk to. I regret that we lost touch. My deepest condolences to the Samson family.

Having worked with Connie for over 20 years she was an important part of my career development. She had a way of leading a team and being a friend all at the same time. She was a leader, my mentor, a mother figure to me, and a friend. Connie's career in our industry spanned the time of significant developments and changes, and how she balanced her career and family was a model for me. To her family, I have never met you in person, but I heard so much about all of you and I know she loved you all deeply. Sending you all love and deepest sympathy.
