Lipi was one of the purest kindest souls I've ever known. I haven't seen her in years but we were in contact on social media the last message we shared our struggles , our support and our love for each other. It's been a year since we were in contact it never occurred to me that would be our last communication. We need to love and cherish one another. I will absolutely try bringing lipis view into my life. She brought an infectious smile everywhere she went . She and my mom connected doing Mickey Faust. We are both so sad to hear this news, honestly too soon. Sending so much love to her family and everyone mourning this great loss. Rest in power Lipika 🤍❤️🕊️️
Her smile lit up the area. We will miss her at the Tallahassee Writers Association.
How do I even begin to describe her?
When she was around, the sun was a little warmer, the birds sang a little sweeter, love and hope flowed from her like life-giving water. It doesn't seem real that we won't see her again in her corporeal form. But she isn't gone. That spirit is just too powerful to disappear. So I'll hold on to the piece of her that she so willingly gave me, and do my best to share it.
Lipika was one of those beautiful souls that just felt like sunshine! We met at Hulaween nearly two years ago and instantly she was the funniest, smartest and kindest connection I had ever made! To know Lipika was to love Lipika! In the short amount of time we had with her I and our festival family will forever be grateful to have known her, to have lived her, to be loved by her! She will forever live on in our memories and our hearts!

Lipika was truly a shining light in my life. I met her by pure luck and happenstance and from the moment I met her she never stopped making me feel seen, cared for, loved and supported. The very first time we met she immediately made me feel comforted and cared for. To hear her voice and see her face light up is one of my most cherished memories. She had a serious zest for life that was contagious to be around. Whether we were at a music festival or walking around at the park or having a picnic she just had this appreciation for every detail.
I cherish every moment I was gifted with her, and her legacy will long outlive her physical form. To Jerry, Kris, and MG I send all of my love and support.
Two years ago, I met Lipika at Hulaween music fest. We were a group of solo women looking for a community. Little did I know we would turn into sisters. Lipika was our friend who always saw the bright side of things, made sure we were loved fiercely and showed us how to dance like no one was watching and make friends wherever we go. Although we will dearly miss her, I know we’ll take her spirit with us and try to spread the love she gave us to everyone we meet. I’m so very grateful we crossed paths.
