Not sure what to say?

I'm so sorry to hear this very sad news. I will always remember her gracious hospitality, and the many lovely meals and laughs we shared in Eugene and New York. My thoughts and heart are with you.

While conducting the Oregon Mozart Players (1991-97) in Eugene - I have fond memories of visiting with Leita and being her houseguest at her beautiful home in Eugene. The conversation and exchange with Leita was always interesting and illuminating. Rest in peace, gentle soul.

Apo Hsu

Leita's passing caught us off guard; we always thought she'd be with us since she aged so gracefully and retained her joie de vivre. Her refined tastes and skills in many arts - cuisine, weaving, pottery, doll-making were a delight to experience. We will miss her warm but mysterious presence at concerts and wine tastings. Deepest condolences to Kathryn, Virginia and grandsons.

I am so sorry to hear this. I have many fond memories of her great food, eclectic music offerings, her artwork, and your lovely home. Condolences and love to your family.

What a marvelous person. Though I only knew Leita for a few years it felt like a friendship of a lifetime.

My mother was a very special person, and we miss her tremendously. We encourage you to sign the guestbook on the website we have set up for Leita here: www.leitawright.com.
