Book Project for Kiki
Please take some time to share a story, memory or description of life with Lisa for her daughter Kiki. Beth Breslauer and Angélica Brisk will be pulling together your contributions into two books for Kiki to have. One for now and one for her teenage years. We can’t bring Lisa back for her, but we can give her a sense of just how special her mother was to the world.

I am an old friend of both Ron and Lisa who moved to Norway 7 years ago. Both Ron and Lisa had worked for me as photo assistants and in the process we became close friends. Well I just found out about her death yesterday, 20 June, when Ron called me. He had sent an email back in March that I never received and he called wondering why I had not responded. Needless to say I am in shock and grieving for the loss of a dear friend and a truly beautiful, noble soul. My world is diminished. I am one day into a process that I imagine most others started some time ago.
One story I can relate is the memory of our last meeting. It was last summer, my wife Anita, daughter Sara and I were were on our annual pilgrimage to my ‘homeland’ when we a beautiful summer day with Ron & lisa down Charleston, RI. It was short, as all our connections are on these trips, but still quality time. Lisa really seemed to be blooming like I had always thought she could. Her vision and goals for her book project, ideas about where to go next and new possibilities all seemed to be taking on new life. She was coming out from under the shadow of her own mother’s passing. We shared some ours at the small beach close to their house. Lisa told Anita how she was dealing with the death of her mother. Kiki and Sara swam about and suffered through the photography of their fathers. Sara took her first outdoor shower… something not so common in Norway unless you count getting caught in the rain. We had a great time.
I took some very lovely images that would be good for this. How can I make these available for this book project for Kiki?
Sincerely, David
