So sad to learn of her passing.  She was one of the nicest people I knew during my time at NHS.  Appreciate Brad sharing this unfortunate news.  My prayers go out to her family and friends.

I didn't know Lea, but it's always sad to hear of a classmate's passing.  We have so many more years to live, and knowing they will not saddens me.  Thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.

Lea was one of the most original, creative, intensely emotional, strong willed, brilliant people I have known. From her tearful "Ode to Sam" at Holt, her mature and independent-minded arguments on religion with her preacher, her contributions in the honors English seminar at UNC-CH, and her constant, witty and compassionate patience with me and whatever craziness I was currently spouting... I regret having lost touch with her along the way. The world feels a different place.

Oh my, I did not know!  My heart goes out to Peter, who I knew from our college days when they were at UNC and I was at UNC-Greensboro and then Duke.  Lea was smart, talented and kind.  I counted her a good friend and wish I had kept in contact.
