Not sure what to say?

I know this is very late, but Wendy was on the set in 1994 of her teleplay, "The Heidi Chronicles" and I was cast as an extra. They had another actor cast for a role that I eventually got.

Wendy was an awesome playwright. I am currectly researching her for my four research projects and it is such a thrill. So inspirational. May her soul rest in peace.

We have lost a very real,special and gifted woman who gave very much of herself. I feel a loss and send my condolences to all of her family and friends. I hope to attend the memorial.

I read a quote of Ms. Wasserstein's that said: "I never want to leave a room and be thought of as a horrible person." What a most incredible statement. This precious woman was a gift and even though a gift is lost, it is always cherished and never forgotton. Miss Wendy, God bless you and keep you. My prayers to all family members with the most sincere affection.

Dear Lucy Jane, May your mother's memory be a blessing for you forever. You have the love and light of your Mom in your heart and that will never leave you. You are in my prayers.

MAY YOU FIND PEACE, LOVE, & STRENTH IN THOSE CLOSE TO YOU & FARAWAY! MAY GOD CONTINUE TO LIFT UP YOUR LOVE ONES DURING THIS TIME OF GRIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
