I am shocked and saddened that Connie and Dushon have left us. She was a role model for other secretaries across the country in the way she kept that firehouse running smoothly and fiercely protected her Chief from the mundane antics and petty distractions that so often threaten the stability of a workplace. I will miss her presence and offer my condolences to her family and the cast and crew at Chicago Fire. Hers is a life cut way too short. Her spirit and memories will live on. I think of the kids she helped as a volunteer and hope they can look up to her as a role model to do better in their lives.

Extending my love and prayers to Liz and family for the loss of their daughter and loved one, Dushon. I had the pleasure of meeting Dushon at a time when her thoughts about acting was an expressed dream. But, my, look how that desire developed into a passion which helped her to actualize her dreams and share this passion of hope with others! It's evident from public comments that her life will continue to be an inspiration, and for that the family can be proud. A life of purpose...well done, precious Angel!
