I was so sorry to hear about Connie's death. What a shock, although I had known that she was battling cancer. I had gotten away from the circle at Champlain after retiring and lost touch with the folks there. My deepest and sincere condolences to Don and the rest of the family. You were so good to her, Don and she loved you for it - may she rest in peace! - Posted by: Ellen Cook (Colleague) on: Jun 05, 2019

Connie was one of the most gifted and generous teachers I’ve ever known. Her classroom was filled with creativity and joy for all her students. She was so talented and energetic that she was a model for any early years teacher. Her passion for teaching was contagious and mirrored her passion for life. Connie’s sense of humour, good nature and kindness inspired many. She was a wonderful person. With respect and love. Maxine - Posted by: Maxine Geller (Colleague) on: Mar 23, 2019

Connie was an amazing teacher. Her students were always busy doing great activities that she thought up and then went to great lengths getting all the materials she needed to make them! Being on any committees in school or chatting and laughing through lunch hours were always so much fun with Connie joining in! She had a great sense of humour, a contagious laugh and a wonderful sense of fun! - Posted by: Cathy Willows (Friend) on: Mar 16, 2019
