Hope personified grace under pressure. I never knew anyone who dealt with adversity with as bright a smile or as winning a manner. She was an exceptional presence at the law school, beloved by students and faculty alike. Hope's presence made the law school a better place and enriched the lives of all who were privileged to know her. She was the best.

Dear Hope, Hallie loved you; she always asked how you were. Whenever I returned from a Law School event that was for some reason held away from the building, Hallie wanted to know: “How did Hope get there? Who gave her a ride?” When Chief Justice Langa greeted Lucy and me at a human rights law conference in Stellenbosch, his first comment was: “But where is Hope? Wasn’t she able to make it?” In a café one evening, a friend of ours shared intimate, harrowing details of his schoolboy participation in the 1976 Soweto uprising. I am sure the reason he felt safe to do this was that you conveyed trust, solidarity, and caring by your very being. You bought me one of those key-chain trinkets in Johannesburg because you knew I would like it but never get one for myself. It has been with me every day for the 20 years since. And I will carry memories of you with love, admiration, and gratitude, for the rest of my journey. Karl

I did not spend as many years with Hope as many of my colleagues, so I don't have many memories to share. But I will say that with a single e-mail, written during a time that she did not come into the law school, she conveyed such positive energy, warmth, and conviction that she helped me moved forward. She was truly extraordinary, and I know that she will be missed by many.

One of the most phenomenal professors, it was truly an honor to be her research assistant and to read her fabulous textbook.

I served with Hope on the Board of the ACLU of Massachusetts, where her wisdom and clear vision shaped so much of my thinking. The inspiration she leaves will always be a treasure.

I had my first conversation about law teaching with Hope Lewis. She inspired me to teach and speak truth to power. I light this candle in your memory.
