Dear Steven, Ronald, Richard, Janice, Andrea, and grandchildren-

I met Lissy about thirty-five years ago when I joined her sculpture class.  She was so talented as an artist and as a teacher that we soon became fast fiends.  My husband George and I met her and Leonard out for dinner shortly before he became ill.  Such a lovely and warm couple!  The last year she taught I picked her up at her apartment and drove her to class.  After that I visited her at the Atrium and then at the Bristol.  The last time I visited was her birthday several years ago.  She no longer enjoyed my visits so I stopped going, but  I think of her with fond memories when I look at the pieces that I sculpted in her class.  May you only remember the good times when she was well and may those memories sustain you at this time.  Sincerely, Nancy and George Strausman
