The sad news comes after Connie was awarded with the Medal of Order of Australia at the Calvary Clare Holland House, in Canberra, just yesterday.
She was honored for her service to those with breast cancer by Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove, according to a report by ABC.
Meshel told audiences: ‘She said that to Sam yesterday when the Governor-General gave her, her medal, she said to Sam, “We did something. We really did something.”‘
Co-host Waleed said: We’ve had a lot of feedback about that today and you could see what it meant not just to her – and that’s the thing, not just about what it meant to her, but the entire community.
