Carly Simon shared a heartbreaking tribute Saturday with People, following the deaths of her two sisters \u2014 who died one day apart last week. Joanna Simon, 85, died of thyroid cancer on Wednesday and Lucy Simon, 82, succumbed to metastatic breast cancer on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI am filled with sorrow to speak about the passing of Joanna and Lucy Simon,\u201d she said in a statement to People. \u201cTheir loss will be long and haunting. As sad as this day is, it’s impossible to mourn them without celebrating their incredible lives that they lived.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Carly and Lucy formed The Simon Sisters in the 1960s. Lucy later went to nursing school, married illustrator David Levine and had two children. In the 1980s, Lucy produced two children’s albums, \u201cIn Harmony\u201d and \u201cIn Harmony 2,\u201d which each won a Grammy award. A 1991 score for \u201cThe Secret Garden\u201d made her the third female composer on Broadway, and she was nominated for a Tony.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cWe were three sisters who not only took turns blazing trails and marking courses for one another, we were each other’s secret shares,\u201d Simon told People. \u201cThe co-keepers of each other’s memories.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
A mezzo soprano, Joanna made her opera debut in \u201cThe Marriage of Figaro\u201d in New York City in 1962. She went on to perform at the Seattle Opera, New York Philharmonic, Vienna Philharmonic and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. She married New York Times editor Gerald Walker in 1976. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
