It was so very odd that I came across Kisa's obituary in the Times the other day. I knew (though not well) Kisa when we were at UCLA. As I recall, she was among the most graceful, beautiful, and sweetest people I have had the opportunity to meet in my life. Very down to earth!
Last night I mentioned to my wife, Sheila, that Kisa had passed away and she immediately remembered her from our time there.
Colon cancer is such a dreaded illness, yet my guess is that Kisa dealt with it with ALL of her aforementioned grace, beauty, and sweetness.
With deepest sympathy,
Dan
