Condolence: Lee, Celebrate her life with the gifts she left you. May all the memories come together with a light that can burn through this darkness and you can see clearly all the wonderful times you've shared. With my deepest sympathy. Love, Karen

Condolence: Dear Lee, It's so hard to believe that Lucy is gone. She was an exceptional human being and will be sorely missed by all who were privileged to know her. My sincerest and heartfelt condolences to you - take comfort in the wonderful memories of your life together. With Love, Jamal

Condolence: I am so sorry to be informed of the loss of your beloved partner, Lucy. I send you my condolences and my love and concern.

Condolence: I liked Lucy the moment I met her. She was soft spoken,intelligent,serious,philosophical, interesting and interested. She had a special air of dignity about her. So glad you got to have 50 good years together and so sad that she had to leave, but She will always be a part of your heart. Love, Estelle

Condolence: I only met Lucy during my brief stay in New York with my husband, Peter Philippson, in 2012. I immediately felt drawn to her; I felt that I could trust her to say exactly what she thought, whether or not it was comfortable for me. I would have loved to have been able to get to know her better - some friendships have to stay in the might-have-beens, I guess. But I am glad I met her!

Condolence: Dear Lee, Our thoughts are with you at this time of sorrow. It is always hard to lose someone but especially when that person was your best friend. With love, Connie and Frank Garcia

Condolence: Dear Lee, So sorry about your loss. I'm thinking about you at his difficult time. Love, Jacob Gershoni

Condolence: Lucy never suffered fools lightly. (My mother was like that, too, but she wasn't intellectual like Lucy). A conversation with Lucy always forced an elevated use of your words, thoughts and ideas. And no matter the subject, Lucy always had an enlightened view - simultaneously opinionated and nonjudgmental. It was marvelous to be on the other end of that. Gatherings were always enhanced by the presence of Lucy.
