Memories and Condolences
for Lisa Charlap
Mom of three
November 15, 2007
I saw your story on the news and was saddened to hear that Lisa was called to God so soon. I could see the love you have for her in your eyes and your strength to care for those two beautiful boys. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers . As a girl who lost her dad when she was very young, I will tell everyone who knew Lisa to always remember to talk of her to her boys. Although she may not be here on earth with us, the boys will "know" her through your memories. You will keep her spirit alive. God Bless

My condolences on the loss of Lisa. For many years, I had the pleasure of working with her mother-in-law, Marie, at Baker Victory. Marie always spoke of her children and their families.
Be assured of my prayers for Lisa as she returns home to God. May she rest in peace.

God saw you were getting tired and a care was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me".
With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away.
Although we love you dearly we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands are now at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.

The Weaver (author unknown)
My life is but a weaving
Between my Lord and me.
I cannot see the colors;
He worketh steadily.
Oft times he weaveth sorrow,
And I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper,
And I the underside.
Not till the looms are silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why
The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver's skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
I am so sorry for your loss.May God send you His peace and continue to surround you with His earthly angels.
