You wrote a beautiful obituary, and have a beautiful daughter. Although this is a terrible time for you, I hope somehow you find peace. Your daughter touched many, even some that didn't know her. You should be proud of her accomplishments and just know that she will not be forgotten. It's so upsetting to hear of such a terrible loss.

Calmar Family-
I attended Stonington High School with Izzy and although I did not know her well, the impression that she has left behind is nothing short of remarkable. We can all learn from her great strength and passion for life. My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. RIP Izzy.

Dear Hal and Martha,
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. We did not know Isabelle, but truly enjoyed reading about her many accomplishments. We remember you praising her when we were together at the Bar function. I also remember you, Hal, at that age with similar accomplishments. May her memory be eternal. Jim and Sylvia Kambas
