US singer Carly Simon mourns the loss of her sisters Lucy and Joanna. As the broadcaster CNN reported, both died of cancer within a day at the age of 82 and 85. “It saddens me to speak about the deaths of Joanna and Lucy Simon,” Simon told CNN. “Your loss will be long and haunting.”

“As sad as this day is, it is impossible to mourn them without celebrating the incredible lives they have lived,” said the 78-year-old. “We were three sisters who not only took turns pioneering each other and setting courses, we were each other’s secret parts. The co-truers of our mutual memories.”
