Amy I never got the pleasure to meet your sister, but in a way I feel as though I've gotten to know her through stories you've shared at work. You've laughed when sharing some of the fun stories about Lisa and Jaimie's relationship. I laugh about you and Lisa - typical sisters. You have an incredible attitude toward life and I have to believe your sister has been an influence which keeps you embrassing every moment with such a forgiving and positive outlook. I hope you will continue to share those memories with us who care about you - you laugh a special way when you speak of Lisa.

We are so saddened and our hearts go out to all of you. We will keep you in our prayers. It is especially hard when a parent looses a child, but remember the Lord took away her disabilities and she is happy.

I remember when we were kids and we would all go up north to "The Cabin". All of us cousins would hang out together and Lisa would be right smack in the middle of us. She would laugh at us if we did something to amuse her. She taught me sign language and I thought i was pretty cool because I knew the whole alphebet. We will miss you, Lisa, but you are now in the arms of your daddy. RIP cousin..
