My thoughts and prayers are with you, Sawyer family! Lisa was beautiful inside and out. My fondest memories with Lisa are when we served together in a young women's presidency. She had a strong testimony. She served selflessly and always stayed cool, calm and collected. I hope that I can always remember her voice and the way that she would put her arm around me and say "How are ya?" I pray that you all feel peace and comfort in knowing that we will see her again. Love you, Lisa!

Ron, Scott and girls,
I can't express enough words to tell you how sorry I am for the loss of Lisa, but I do need to tell you how good she was to me, especially when i moved to South Ogden in 8th grade...she pretty much took me under her wing and we flew together as friends for many years, even though our friendship was distant we kept in touch throughout the years sharing christmas letters and a phone call once in awhile....when we were in high school we had so much fun I can still hear her laugh and see her smile. I'll never forget the fun, loving family you were to me, the many sleep overs, that included Steph, Marce (thats what Lisa called you when you were little) and Scott. Your mom and dad would always include me for dinner and your dad and I would always argue over butter and margarine (which one was better for you) ha ha...Lisa and I had such a great friendship we included each other in our Senior pictures so we would never forget each other. I will truly cherish our friendship and Kristen I always looked up to you, and how you being the oldest, you would drive us places, you always knew where to take us especially where the cute boys were ha ha, I love you all and hope you find peace in knowing Lisa is in the loving arms of your mom. My prayers are with you! Hang in there! Love and Hugs to all of you! Joan
