Connie was my grandmother’s life partner (Elaine Reid) until she passed away. I have fond memories visiting nanny and Connie in their apartment as a child. Connie treated me and my siblings like her own grandchildren. Life is harsh, but she was never unkind. All my love and condolences to Connie’s family and friends.
