Thanks to Donati in China for the lovely "Autumn Leaves" poster. The words are from the famous song of that name (Music composers: Kosma/Prevert/Mercer). The original striking photo of Lea in Autumn 2003 was taken by Chris Danneffel in a local park in Prague near Lea's home. Chris wrote that Lea liked this picture because of the rich colours. Chris showed this picture again to Lea when she was so ill and she said that she wanted to get better to model again and Chris said "you will" to calm her and Lea said "Yes?".
The exact details are at www.LeaDeMae.com (when you hover the mouse over the photo that Chris placed on the Site).
Dearest of all Lea, our prayers are reaching you every single moment, up there in the skies where you are.
I felt really broke when I found out about your passing. Not only my flesh but also my spirit is taken over by your perpetual presence! I do worship you!!!

Here is the fine studio recording of the song "Can't Help Falling In Love". Another version of the song with a music-box introduction was used in the film "Blue Hawaii" (1960). In later years, Elvis always closed his stage shows in Las Vegas with this song.
These lovely words, written last year, are so fitting as a tribute and memorial of wonderful Lea. In just over a fortnight's time, it will have been 2 years since Lea left us - to suffer no more.
To the eternal and loving memory of Lea (Andrea)...
