She was a remarkable mother, with endless patience and undying love for the people she held dear. She was a person that you were able to go to for whatever that you needed, no matter how big or small your problem was. She was always happy to listen and give thoughtful and heartfelt guidance. She was an extraordinarily kind and truly amazing person.

I am heartbroken for the loss of Lisa. She was such a sweet person & an amazing friend. She is one of the first people I met when I changed schools from private to public school in 6th grade. It was such a transition but Lisa really made me feel welcomed. I can’t imagine the pain you guys are going though. Please know, I am thinking if you guys & praying for you. I’m so sorry for your loss.
