Not sure what to say?

Thank you, God, for Dr.Sacks. Our world was divinely blessed.

Greatest admiration of your curiosity, depth of character, and courage to forg ahead with your mission to shed light in the darkness.

I still miss you, Lovely.

I wrote you another letter I can't send today, and while I was writing I didn't feel alone.

As always, Olive you.

Oliver Sacks affected my life totally. I am just an ordinary person searching for life and he more than anyone has helped me in this by his humor, intellect and deep compassion. I used to fantasize about running into him on City Island. Now he is just present, always. "If you want to be happy, find your compassion for others".
The Dalai Lama, With gratitude. Rosemary O'Connell NYC

I saw Dr. Sacks quite often when I worked at Beth Abraham Hospital in the late 1980s. He was a gentle and brilliant man, and I had a lot of interests in common with him. My great regret is that I never had the chance to get to know him better. I believe my life would have been much richer, had I allowed myself to.
