Maryette. The times I spent with you Lillian and Kirk were special times for me. Love you guys

How lucky I feel to have known Maryette, Lillian & Kirk. May their spirits soar and their memory carry us through this thing called life.

What a lively spirit in Maryette! One of my fondest memories is Maryette "holding court" at the opening reception of the Lil Picard exhibition at the Grey Gallery at NYU in 2010.
