In my early years in New York Lisa was a ravishing and visioary companion, interested in any adventure (from spending the night in a cloistered monastery to crashing a security infested party at the home of a celebrated Actor.) She was a delighted witness to every major, and a few decidedly minor, opera and ballet events that the city hosted during those years, She was interested in all art and most people, She was the quintessential student - and teacher - of life writ large. I have missed her for many years and now will do so for all those that remain,

Lisa Miller was a neighbor when I first moved to NYC in 1967. She had perfume and champagne in her refrigerator!! I had never met anyone like her. She was our "Holly Go Lightly" in those days. Unique and totally delightful - this is very sad news. - Linda Merkle Frank

For more years than I can remember, Lisa was a dear friend and confidante. I shall so much miss her special brand of "joie de vivre" and our wonderful conversations. ~ Linda Yang
