Not sure what to say?

Rizz was a great friend of the Wm. H. Clark family - and a true source of friendship and support to me at various times in my life. I felt so lucky to know her, through my folks, and her spirit will remain with me all my years. We had great fun on the tennis court, dinners out plus theater in Manhattan (Isn't It Romantic by Wendy Wasserstein in the 80s - she knew a good ticket when she saw one), and in 2005, she drove all the way to VT to see a show of my paintings, purchasing one. Now that...

I'm so glad to have known Rizz, but until reading her obit, I didn't realize the breadth of all her involvements. My sympathy to the family. I'm sure she'll be greatly missed.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your loves one.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends, during and after these difficult times.

We do not have to know a family to have empathy for them when they lose a loved one. I wish to express my heartfelt sympathy for the family of Rosamond Dean during your time of sorrow. May you find comfort from the God of all comfort who helps us to cope in times of distress. May you also receive support and encouragement from friends and family.

I' am truly sorry for your loss. May the God or comfort, comfort you in your time of sorrow. 1Peter 5:6,7

What a remarkable and meaningful life on so many levels. She set the bar high and went above it.

Rizz's many interests and life experiences set a high standard for me to follow as her daughter-in-law for 44 years. She often sent me notices of speakers she had heard at Union Theological Seminary and events sponsored by Planned Parenthood or the Housing Coalition. She always selected books for Christmas and my birthday that were exactly in line with my interests and usually signed by the author. I will miss her greatly.

So sorry to hear about this amazing woman's passing. I served with Rizz on the Huntington Coalition for the Homeless.I remember house sitting Haven house with her one night while the staff attended a party .
We were so different and had opposing views on many things but we had a great conversation, covering many subjects.

What a great, regal lady.
