Tributes:
“My husband Nick Viola lost his niece yesterday. In the few years, she was in our lives, she wrapped us in her loving and accepting arms and made us feel like we had always known her.
Fly on angel wings Lia Mortensen! She was a loving daughter, a remarkable mother, a loyal sister, an amazing niece, a devoted Aunt, a true friend, an accomplished actor, and the brightest light I’ve ever met on earth. The heavens have welcomed an angel. She will be the brightest star in the sky tonight.”
“Good night, Lia Mortensen…
I’m sorry that I didn’t know her better; I’m more empathetic to those who did. I did a couple of staged readings with her years ago and remembered having trouble keeping my eyes off her. Part of that was her natural beauty and talent, but mostly because she had an inner beauty that seemed to radiate from her and include everyone in the room. Such people are rare, and I’m sorry her time here was cut short. It’s obvious, though, that while she was here, she touched many people deeply, and in the end, that’s probably the best barometer for a life well-lived.”
