I'm not sure what made me think of Connie this morning, but I see she lived a very long and wonderful life. I worked with her for a few years back in the early 80's.  She was the receptionist at a place that sold office equipment, and I just loved her.  She would wear the cutest little skirts, always tugging it down when she stood up.  And the brightest red lipstick and red fingernail polish! I think she often got the fingernail polish on her phone.  She would bring pie crusts into the office that she had made, selling them to anyone interested.  I went to her house a few times and was amazed to hear the stories of raising all the little children in that house by herself.  She shared a story, I'm trying to recall the details, but she was young and traveling by train with no food.  A military man on the train offered her his apple and she was so appreciative. She was an amazing woman and so very optimistic about life.
