Brandon and Ali ~
I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. Your mother was a very caring loving, strong willed person, who has obviously instilled those values in you both. Her warm smile and willingness to always put someone else’s needs in front of her own made her very unique. We could all learn a lot from her ways. Know that she is looking down on you, proud as ever, and protecting you both as she always has. Understand that we will always be here for you both if there’s ever anything you need. I know your mother would do the same for my children. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both.
Rest in peace Lisa...God bless.

Dear Ali & Brandon,
I just heard today about your mothers passing. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. I got to meet your mom 3 years ago. My daughter and I had just moved out here, and while taking a walk through town, we came upon Lisa's. I thought my 9 year old was going to pull my arm off after she saw that there were Webkinz inside. She is now the proud owner of 32 Webkinz, and during all those purchases I got to know your Mother. She always had a smile on her face, and knew whenever I walked in I was searching for the newest Webkinz. We would talk about so many different things. She loved to brag about the 2 of you, and from what my & her friend Nancy has told me about the two of you, she had every right too! She loved you both very much. I'm gonna miss our little chats. She was a very warm and caring lady with a heart of Gold! I'm really going to miss her. God bless you both & know that she's always right beside you! Our Deepest Condolences, Sharon & Heather

Ali and Brandon-
Your mother was the sweetest person with the most caring heart. She was such a great mother and it was devestating to see her go. We are so proud of you for staying strong. So many people are supporting you, and we all love you.

I met Lisa through my wife Anne and hired her as a receptionist in our office. She was a wonderfull additon to our team. She left us to start her business - We made a few visits to her store and have a number of her hand crafted Xmas ornaments which will hold a special place on our tree this year - I know Lisa's presence will be felt by her childern - our deepest sympathy to you Brandon and Ali - one of my favorite quotes - when you look into the sky and see the stars, " perhaps they are not stars in the sky but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy" God Bless Jay and Anne Ferrimani

Brandon and Ali~ The previous entries say all that is true about your Mom. I can speak of her devotion to both of you but speaking as someone who watched you both grow from infancy to elementary school I can say confidently that you are a wonderful mirror that reflects your Mom. Though your days at Storybook ended years ago I have kept up with your progress through the local newspaper and school newsletters and the few times I would bump into Lisa in town.
I still can't accept how these things happen but I am comforted by the knowledge that the two of you are so close. Even as children when it is a common thing for a big brother to not want to be bothered by their little sister you Brandon always looked after Ali and would smile as she ran to you when the different age groups where together.
You both are Lisa's legacy. I'm sure she will be smiling upon you as you go through life armed with the necessary values and tools she instilled in you. May you be blessed and take comfort in the memories you created together. Lisa's time with us may have been short but what use she made of that time!!!!
Love. "Miss Ralphine" Lamonica

Dear Brandon & Ali:
I have so many wonderful memories of your mother - and they all include you there too. Whether it was helping in the concession stand or cheering on the teams (every kid on every team) she was one of the biggest supports - and a great friend. I will miss everything about her, but luckily we have you to remember her. Please know that we're here for you - like she was for so many of us.
Godspeed Lisa - I'll miss you friend.

Brandon & Alli,
I met your Mom 14 years ago when I first started at Xerox. We instantly became friends. She was an intelligent, beautiful, caring, loving woman and we had many, many fun times. I will always cherish the laughter we shared. Your Mom still lives on through you both and through all the love she gave to so many people. Sincerely,

Lisa was someone that everyone should have as a good friend and I am glad that she was mine. I'm going to really miss her. I think she would have liked everything about today and would be greatful for the outpouring of affection shown to Ali, Brandon and the rest of her family.

Lisa was a good friend and better neighbor. She never drew attention to herself but was always there for others. She was always so positive and upbeat throughout her illness that it was sometimes easy to forget how serious it was.
Her determination to succeed and her strong work ethic are only two of the life lessons she leaves her children.
I'll miss her smile but will remember every time I see Lisa's smile on Ali's face.
Lisa was a hero. I'll miss her.
Brandon and Ali, you will remain in my prayers.

I was priviledged to work with Lisa for a bunch of years at Xerox. She was an integral part of the fun crew working in the photocomposition group. Lisa could always be counted on to express herself honestly and forthrightly without regard for whom she was talking too. I remember when both of her children were born, and how the focus of her life changed to the kids. I imagine she was a fantastic mother, easily as fantastic as she was a co-worker and friend. She'll be missed.

Lisa is and was a loving, inventive, sassy, active individual. Her children were her world. Lisa and I worked together became friends. As well ate :-) and went through our pregnancies together. We had some great times sharing stories when the kids were little about their different antics. Brandon, Allie and the entire family you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Lisa was the most devoted and loving mother I have ever known. She will always have a special place in our hearts. I will miss her smile, her kindness and the way she would fight for what she believed in. She taught me how to be a "football Mom". I will never forget how proud she was of her children and how happy they made her. I am so sorry for your loss. My heart aches for you. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
