Arabesque avec les anges

A beautiful girl has passed today,
out of our lives too soon.
She's now doing perfect grand jetes
over the summer's moon.

She hurts no more, her smile is huge,
stars in her eyes, dancing again.
And she's strong, and well, and charming the angels
as only our Leetze can.

We want to thank everyone for your beautiful messages about our dear Lisa. It brings us much comfort.

So nice to hear from old friend of ours and Lisa's.

Our love,
Ellie and Ron

Gary/Ellie: I got a call from my mom today with the news. I am so sorry to hear that Lisa is gone. Of all of my friends from Colorado Springs, Lisa was the one person who stayed a part of my life. She was so kind, funny, creative, and she glowed with an energy that made her just as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. Please let me know when the celebration of her life is being held - I want to be sure to be there. Love to you all.
