Lezann was my very first employer in the US. She had faith in me and gave more than a job. I will be forever grateful to her. I was searching for her information online and saw her obituary. I am so sad. I wish I saw her before she left this world. She was sweet and thoughtful lady. She definitely changed my life for the better. You will always be remembered. -Olya
I think she would enjoy this poem by Lewis Carroll.
A BOAT, beneath a sunny sky
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July--
Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear--
Long has paled that sunny sky;
Echoes fade and memories die;
Autumn frosts have slain July.
Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes.
Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.
In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die;
Ever drifting down the stream--
Lingering in the golden gleam--
Life, what is it but a dream?
I worked for Lezann at the Marriott. She helped me through many hard times, dealing with life at university, the work environment at the library, and through going to graduate school. She always encouraged me to do my best, be precise, and to be a librarian. In some ways, I have her to thank for pushing me into librarianship, as she gave me the space and time to be myself and explore what it meant to be myself while working in a library institution. We didn't talk after I left the Marriott as I moved onto other things, but I will always have her memories, her birthday cards, and even the Gandalf she gave me for being her wizard man! I'm sorry I didn't marry her step-son like she wanted, but it's never too late... I wish health, happiness, and security on her family no that she has passed on.
