I am very sad to hear of Lisa's sudden passing and I am very shocked this has happened. I met Lisa through the Metallica Club magazine through the Pen Pals section in the 1990's. Even through we lived in different counties, we had quite a lot in common and always had interesting things to talk about.

Lisa was a very creative person and enjoyed receiving her birthday and xmas cards and even the odd gift. We both loved Disney and Star wars. Lisa also talked about her cat Orlando and the things he would get up to, it was a sad time when he passed away.

Lisa and I were pals for about 20 years, I will miss corresponding with her. Sending my thoughts to the family

I met Lisa through HP-OH and last saw her in May when our group did a tour of Mansfield Reformatory and some of the surrounding sites. Lisa was one of the most darling people I ever met and I am so incredibly sad, and shocked, to hear she is gone from this plane. Please accept my deepest condolences and know that she was appreciated and loved by many. Had I known earlier I would have attended the services and shared in person. I will miss seeing her at events and catching up with her on FB. Sending hugs and prayers. ❤

I am totally stunned. Lisa- you were my first best friend. And you were indeed a great friend. I have many fond memories of you in school, and sleep overs in the trailer ("Heard It From a Friend, Who..."), and hanging out in general and doing dopey teenager stuff
. Thank you for being such a sweet, wonderful, and supportive person. My thoughts and prayers for your mom, dad, and Jimmy. Enjoy your new home in Heaven, and someday I hope to reunite with you there. Love, Tracy

I'm absolutely speechless. Lisa was a wonderful friend in high school. I'll always remember the book she was writing on the bus. (How many steno pads did she use for that?) And then there were all of the fun times in drama and marching band/flag corps. Although we lost track of each other after graduation until we reconnected on Facebook, Lisa was someone I looked forward to seeing and visiting with at class reunions.

Jim and family: May God hold you especially close during this difficult time. And may Lisa's memory be eternal.

We were shocked and saddened to learn of Lisa's sudden death. Lisa will be remembered as a friend who always had a story to tell about all her great adventures and her love of collecting Disney and Star Wars memorabilia.

I am at a loss for words, quiet honestly. Still floating around in the mindset of disbelief. I've tried to type this a few times a few different ways - but it all comes down to that you will be deeply missed by many. It was a blessing to reconnect with you when I did and I appreciate the little chats we had of Harry Potter, Disneyland, Renaissance and Game of Thrones. I could never express how truly lovely and kind you were as a person. Sending deepest condolences to the Zitek and Tesar families.
