((Reverend Dave)) Again thank you for filling in the blank spaces of Lissa life ((Lisa)) How wonderful Lissa was thinking of your Gracie and bought her a special gift from China. So much we didn't know about Lissa and may never know. She had such a kind heart and soul. |

My gosh, that just brought tears to my eyes. How kind Lissa was! My thanks also to Rev.Dave for the information. I think the reason that we are all trying so hard to understand this is that we wish that we had had a better knowledge of her. How very incredible she was, & for the most part, kept it to herself. I often get the feeling I was brushed by greatness, & she passed away before I realized it. Kind of like wishing that you'd gotten to meet Princess Diana, but didn't. Something like that. |

Thank you, Rev Dave for giving the information about Lissa. How nice of her to get the gift for Grace. I am so touched by that. Lissa was an amazing girl....I'm sorry we didn't get the chance to 'know' her longer. |

Wow. I am truly shocked and saddened. I have not been posting regularly here for some time, due to my work place blocking all forums and chat sites, and also due to an increased amount of 'busy-ness' at home. It was almost surreal to sign on and see this news. I, like Lissa's sister Megan, generally find forums and chats to be a bit odd. However, I have really enjoyed posting here, and reading your posts as well. Because of this, the sadness I feel at Lissa's death is a bit inexplicable. Here is a complete stranger (I was not even aware that her name was Lissa until this thread) who I knew only as mozart8mytoe, and yet the minute I told my wife about her death, my wife knew exactly who I was referring to. Lissa is intelligent, witty, provocative, insightful, stubborn, generous, strong, challenging, eloquent, charitable and unique. One of the main reasons that I became a regular member here was to read Lissa's posts. I, like the rest of you, will truly miss reading her words, her thoughts and ideas, and the personality that she brought to all of our lives through this site. I can't even imagine how great the loss must be for her family. Her daughter would have had a wonderful mother. My heart goes out to them at this time. |

I just got the newsletter, and although I'm not really in with all the stuff going on, especially in the off topic section, I think I can still say that it's a very, very incredibly sad occurence. It's never good to know of a person who has died and even though I never met, nor spesifically discussed anything with Lissa, I can't help but feel sad. I really don't no what to say, but I thought that if I didn't even make an attempt at it that it would be wrong. My thoughts go out to the family. |

Well, I just received Andy's newsletter as well and I'm still in shock. I remember very well when Lissa joined the John Lennon Forum. I thought she was just the kind of crazy people we needed around there. She was funny and provocative in a very clever and honest way and I could easily feel in her why she would be a Lennon fan. During the early years that JLF was online I wondered a lot about some regular members that went away, leaving the board without a word of goodbye. Soon I realized that it was more common than not and, with a few exceptions, I didn't think a lot about the reasons they had left. As I used to say, the saddest thing that can happen to any board is when it gets banned by a member! Anyway, this is the first and single case that I have to deal with the death of someone I came to know online. And, honestly, I don't know very well how to deal with it. Hope you understand. Sorry. |

I'm told there's good news and bad news about Zhao Xiu, Lissa's daughter. Her father has decided to adopt her, so Lissa's daughter will legally be her sister. The bad news is the adoption has to begin anew, so it may be at least another year before she can go to New York. |

Glad I was warned to get the kleenex before I read the site. It's a beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman. I'm so touched by all of these tributes, especially the ones from her father and sister. Yet, her humor showed through, too, in these memories from her friends. Bethany on if Lissa had been a cheerleader: Give me an F. Give me a U. Give me a C. Give me a K. I'm glad that Zhao Xiu will be adopted by Lissa's father. Some good will still come out of this tragedy. |

Affter reading Lissa memorial from her Father and sister Megan and friends, the tribute has touched my heart so deeply for all of their loss. I can't even begin to imagine the emptiness they must be feeling without Lissa in their life, she was such a carrying and loving to all she touched. Most people don't know how to live and love life to the fullest as she did. I for one will always remember how she lived her life and I will try to do the same in honor of her. I'm happy her daughter, Xhoa Xiu will be adopted by her Dad. She will get to know her Mother from the family and friends who loved Lissa. My heart is so broken to have loss someone whom I wish I knew better. And now I have to go to my selfish in-laws, who know nothing about the meaning of LOVE They better not mess with me today because their going to get an earful. |

I really don't know what to say about the memorial tribute to Lissa. I sit here...speechless...with crumpled tissues strewn about my desk. I feel such sorrow for the loss that Lissa's family and friends are going through...and such sorrow that such a bright, intelligent, witty, beautiful person is no longer on this earth. And sorrow that I only knew her from the wonderful words she shared with us on this message board. She was someone extraordinary...and everytime someone who knew her shares a piece of Lissa with us...it makes me want to know her better. It makes me like her. It makes me miss her. |

I have just returned from my annual month long sojourn to Wales & cannot express how saddened I am to read this thread. As a relatively new member to the forum I cannot claim to have really known Lissa tho having read thru this & other related threads I almost feel as tho I did. I particularly enjoyed reading the selected posts from which I believe her to have been a very special person. I would just like to add my own expression of sympathy to her family & friends and to all of you on here who were fortunate enough to have known her. R I P Lissa. |

Reading that beautiful memorial tribute, my awe and admiration for Lissa, and my sense of what we lost in her, grew with each word I took in until I got to her sister Megan's tribute. Then I flipped out a little that someone that amazing should be taken from us so early, and that her family and friends should have to go through losing her, and that I never got the chance to meet her. Because now I think I would've liked to have met Lissa more than just about anybody I've ever heard of. |

John thank you for directing us to Lissa's website. The tributes there were truly beautiful. Again, I want to extend my condolences to her father, sister, daughter and friends. What an amazing person she was and what a sorrow it is to lose her. Thank you Adilah for letting us know what will happen to Zhao Xiu; I was very concerned but I feel pleased to know that Lissa's father will adopt her and that she will get to know her mother directly through her closest family and friends. I am not at all surprised that it will take longer now to adopt her though, Chinese bureaucracy in matters of adoption is well-known and takes quite a long time to navigate. I hope that Zhao Xiu will get to Lissa's beloved New York as soon as she can. |

It is so touching to see all the compassion and the LOVE on this thread. It feel good to see that LOVE is still REAL. Make me think of this song: Love is real, real is love, Love is feeling, feeling love, Love is wanting to be loved. Love is touch, touch is love, Love is reaching, reaching love, Love is asking to be loved. Love is you, You and me, Love is knowing, We can be. Love is free, free is love, Love is living, living love, Love is needing to be loved. |

This tragic loss in cyberspace Conceived in romance Then left alone to die Her cynical wit, struggled to survive Mozart8MyToe has left us high and dry..

Either this man is dead or my watch has stopped.

Now that I've made a few posts here (for the first time in months) I remember how much I like it here; how much I enjoy reading everyone's ideas and writing down my own rambling thoughts. I'm not much for forums--I simply don't have the time. But I do want to continue on here, and I have several things that I want to say about music. But it doesn't seem right to post about something as trivial as music. Or television. Or what I'm eating. At least not yet. This whole Lissa thing has thrown me for a loop. Which is not like me. Death doesn't bother me, or even affect me all that much. It's not that I don't miss the people who pass on (I'm not callous, I'm simply insensitive), it's just that I see it as part of life. I'm fine with mortality. But Lissa's story is just wrong. I just took a few moments last night to read through the many pages in this thread. When I made my initial post, I had only read Andy's first statement. I have since read Lissa's backstory through Rev. Dave's posts (thanks for those). The whole thing seems so unreal. I just can't get my head around it yet. A newspaper article might help, but I haven't been able to track anything down on the web. Has anybody? Was there an obituary anywhere? At any rate, her words and personality will be missed here. I often found myself searching for any post made by mozart8mytoe, knowing that it would make me smile, or think, or both. At one point, in some thread or another, I had asked her if she wrote for a living. I thought that she must be a journalist or novelist with her command of language, her insight and her wit. That's when I discovered that she played piano for a living, not just as a hobby. If she played piano as well as she wrote, with the life and vibrancy and quick thinking that were exemplified in her posts, then I'm sure she was brilliant. Yes, well, that's my ramble for the day. I appreciate the thoughts posted on this thread thus far. Ms. M. made quite an impression on all of us, didn't she? |

Megan is a stronger person than I. If I lost my sister I'd be useless. Death is indeed a natural part of life, as is mourning and grief. It's only natural that we mourn for our loss and take the time we need to grieve. Some can offer their condolences and quickly move on. Some of us need more time. Undoubtedly some will never really get over it. I think it's easier to accept the loss of an older person. No matter how much we will miss them, they have lived a full life. When someone so young as Lissa or Diane's son is taken away from us when they still had so much to give it does seem unreal. Sadly it does happen all too often. I'm very honoured to not only have seen her play in person but to actually have the amazing experience of making music with her. I can say in absolute terms that she was a far better musician than she was a writer. |

Reading Megan's tribute to Lissa just devastated me. I read it yesterday, but was so overwhelmed by sadness and dispair, I couldn't post anything and have had to leave it a little while before writing anything. She was a special, unique person and she evidently meant a lot to many, many people. It was a pleasure knowing you Lissa, thank you for choosing to be with us. |

I have just been visiting Lissa's photography on her page and am wondering if the cemetery picture is where she now rests. I am so fascinated by this wonderful young woman who we hardly knew, as can be told by the messages from her family and friends. |

((Linda)) I think it's the Trinity Cemetery in New York. here's a link to it. http://hhoc.org/hist/trinity_cemetary.htm I thought it was said Lissa was buried beside her mother in France. Correct me if I'm wrong??? |

Yes, she was buried with her mother. The caption on the picture says Belgi and I don't know where Belgi is located. That is why I wondered if it was the cemetery where she is buried. More mystery from a woman so full of mystery. |

You know, I haven't stopped thinking about her since I heard the news. I am very sad and yet... I have to admit that it hasn't exactly hit me yet. Her life story is so extraordinary that in my mind she is something like a film character, someone so fascinating and wonderful that is too good to be true. Maybe I just don't want to believe that someone like her would die so young. I can barely believe that someone like her existed at all. |

I had a picture from the first set of pictures on Lissa's site but the trinity cemetery picture has been removed from her site as along a few other ones. I didn't notice there was another cemetery picture till I went back and looked. Yes another mystery. |

I've been asked by Icarus to post her condolences to Lissa's father and sister, as well as the forum members. She was pleased to hear that at least Lissa's father is going to adopt Lissa's daughter. I think maybe Olia is right--Lissa was just too much of a shining star for the world too handle. I am another one who can't stop thinking about her. Wonder how long this will last? |

Reading those very heartwrenching, tear filled tributes made me realize that this accident really did happen and that there really was not a cruel joke played on the world. Lissa really is gone. This really does show you how short and important life can be. We really do need to love one another and live each minute as if we had to. Fighting each other is only doing ourselves harm. We need to overlook the hurts and anguish we have put on each other and get over it, get on with living life and loving one another. |

When I came here this morning and saw "mozart8mytoe" at the top of the page I thought for a brief instant that she had returned. I looked forward to what she would say to all of this. The moment quickly passed and I realised that she is not to return. I often wonder what she would say to the day's events and events yet to come, like the death of Pavarotti and the anniversary of the New York attack. |

Adilah your signature is lovely. I think it's wonderful that Lissa is standing there with her music, piano and penguins. If you don't mind my asking, what does it say? I know we'll all be wondering what she would say to many things in the time to come. I hope that she would appreciate how much of an impact her presence here made on us all. |

Thank you all. The message is condolences/rest in peace. The flowers are Impatiens walleriana. I was simply following the queue of other tributes. I think Clare's was first. Putting one image atop another was simple. The hard part was writing the subliminal message in the border. |

Wouldn't it be great if that were her legacy? Instead of music, intelligence and humour, what if her greatest impact is inspiring others to treat people with respect and love? I can't think of a better tribute. |

I understand Lissa didn't like being photographed. But having a pic is how I cope with loss and grief. It may be weird, but that's how I get thru these things. Doesn't anyone have a recent pic of her? I understand it not being posted here, & I ABSOLUTELY PROMISE, SWEAR to NEVER, EVER post it ANYWHERE, but please, couldn't someone with a kind & understanding heart please PM me one? I so need one to help me deal with this.

I don't mean to sound callous, but there's a fine line between grief and self indulgence. If Lissa had wanted us to have photos of her, she would have posted them herself. The fact that she didn't tells us all we need to know. The best way to honour her memory is to respect her wishes. |
