Dear Mary and Vince, I was so shocked and saddened by this news. I am also grateful that my life's path crossed with yours and that I have hours of wonderful and joyous memories of time spent with Lisa. So much laughter and giggles. Our birthdays fell in the same month and she was always the first one to remind me I'm growing a year older! My favorite expression of hers was when she would exclaim "Good grief!" The walks we took, swimming, rolling on the floor with the therapy ball, Silva lanes...It just goes on. I am holding you both in my heart as you and your family pass through this difficult passage. Big hugs to you both until I can do it in person.

My condolences to the family. Lisa was a beautiful person who I got to know downhill skiing and doing other recreation activities. She was a self advocate for rights of persons with disabilities for many years along with her family. God Bless you all! Carmen Garcia

Dear Cordova family, I am so sorry to hear of Lisa's passing.I do hope you find comfort in knowing she is healed and is now perfect. Lisa was actually one of my mentors. When Mike and I would come over to play, if I acted up she would correct me right away. My favorite memory of Lisa is when you all came for Mike's funeral in Farmington, and she loved on me and asked," Do you want me to teach you how to really ski"? Hahaha she always cracked me up! She asked me that while looking at my ski's! Of course I replied yes.I want to thank you for letting me know and enjoy her. Thank you too for letting her just be Spectaculary Special and not Special Ed! Lisa really Loved and Lived. Well done faithful servant, well done Lisa♥
