My dearest Connie is gone! My dearest friend, mentor and confidant. We met after I arrived from the Philippines, worked with her at VALIC and John Hancock. She took me under her wing and was like a mother to me. She was an amazing woman, a consummate professional, highly intelligent, gifted, caring, kind, generous. I love her and will miss her terribly! Godspeed! Rest in peace, my love!

Connie was a phenomenal woman, successful in business before that was the norm.  She was strong minded and exceptionally kind.  She was a long time supporter and trustee at the Willie Ross School for the Deaf.  Our Student Center was named for her and Foster.  She is missed.
