Re: Lisa King (RIP: 1960-2006) Memorial, 5/28/06
Mon, July 31, 2006 - 7:05 AMhi amatul -
i just rejoined tribe.net a few days ago & only today saw this much outdated post. i knew lisa when i first moved to nyc, actually dated her for a hot second. she was a good person yet we'd lost touch over the last several years - she sort of fell off the map or maybe i did, not sure. i knew she had medical difficulty but i had no idea she'd passed. if i may, how did she die? of course, goes without saying you needn't respond to that question. it's all so tragic, i hope you are walking through this.
it's a terrible loss to her friends, the community & to the arts.
i wish you all the best.
always -
