My love and prayers to Lisa's husband and family. I've known Lisa for a long time through her close friendship with my daughter and enjoyed her presence in our home at many family gatherings. I will cherish her beautiful smile and the many good times and laughter that my daughter I shared with her over the years. Lisa will always have a special place in my heart.
My deepest sympathy,
(Meredith's Mom)
