Hello.
I came across this photo of Lisa which I took at the Women Speak poetry reading and thought you might like it. Her face radiated such joy in that moment. I truly enjoyed meeting her and listening to her poetry that day. Howard, your encouragement for her to participate was a true act of love.
Thoughts and prayers go with you during the upcoming holiday season.

I remember being in some of her Mystery Plays. We volunteered together at the Elk County Humane Society and I would tell her my ideas for a book. I would drop off a book in her mailbox after I published as I respected her opinion.
