WENDY E. WEIL

Rest in Peace Wendy Well

Wendy was bright, beautiful, gifted, and very funny. She was a thoughtful, kind friend who brightened the lives of all of us who knew her.

I had a long lunch with Wendy the other day, discussing projects, and life, after which we stood on the street corner and talked briefly. I gave her a hug and kissed her on the check, something I had never done before, and said goodbye. A few days later I heard the news. "You are closer to your agent than you are to your wife," wrote Louis Auchincloss. I am not married, but I felt closer to her than to anyone else. I miss her terribly. Everyone I know who knew her loved her. I told her...

I was a classmate of Wendy's at Wellesley. She was always fun, funny and upbeat. Everyone on campus loved her and, I am sure, everyone who knew her will miss her.

A sweet woman, kind and caring, supportive.

I was shocked to learn, belatedly, of Wendy's sudden and untimely death. I had seen her in New York City only four days before she passed away, book in her lap at her country home in Connecticut, at a talk between Greil Marcus and Cyndi Lauper. Wendy was her usual elegant self and now, astonishingly, gone. Words are but poor recompense for what Time has taken away, as the poet said. She was in her equable disposition and stalwart commitment to her authors an exemplary woman of letters. ...

To Wendy's Family, It is with deep sympathy that I write this. Even though your hearts are heavy at this time, know that Wendy has moved on to a better place. Her legacy will live on through all of her good works and deeds.
With warm regards Phil Levy

My whole family loved her.

To Wendy's family and friends whom I'm blessed to be amongst ... I can only express gratitude for the time that we shared together. Wendy gave me the gift of bringing my story to life in a book and remained a close friend and confidant... With a heavy heart I must now say goodbye but she will forever have a place in my heart that will be remembered with a smile...rest in peace Wendy I will miss you ... Love Khaliah
