A Christmas Joy 2020
December 11, 2020
Lise and Faith,
Yes, it is Christmas season. A time that should be filled with joy and happiness. The Christmas songs on the radio are happy and upbeat. The wonderful times are filled with memories, but today we are left with emptiness and sadness without you. Holidays are different without your and the boys presence. Love you always. Mom and Dad.

Thoughts of you sweet daughter continue to fill my heart with hope. This past week has been bittersweet with visits from your friends that miss you so very much. Social distancing keeps us from enjoying many things we think of as normal and finds us hoping to see better days. I wonder sometimes how you would have handled not being able to hug friends or just hang out. I believe that you would have made the best of it and kept your joyful spirit. I found an old FB post, Feb, 2012, that I copied to put into your book, it is a reminder that none of us like the answer no, not now.
For Lise's book:
(February 7, 2012 My Post on FB)
I've also done it so you can tell your children and grandchildren...and so you will know that I am the Lord.
Exodus 10:2
I have to share a grandma moment that happened yesterday, early evening. I was sitting by the glass door watching our boys play on the sport court. They were screaming like lions and getting louder. I finally had to use the grandma card, "Ray...Mac...it is time to come in now, it is getting pretty dark out.". Of course they both came up the steps complaining. Or at least Ray was. By the time Mac came to me he said he had cold hands. Ray pleaded, please let me stay outside longer. My answer was a firm no. They then switch their pleading to a second dinner!...they wanted pancakes. I smiled and said I could say yes to that. Once we were at the table eating Ray says very profound like. " momma, when you were little did you like the answer no?". I stopped for a minute and had to be honest and said " no, not always. We don't always get the answer we want, but I knew that I had to trust that there was a good reason for the no, instead of yes." So we had this really adult like conversation with Mac saying yea momma, yea Ray. So adorable and so satisfying. God is good.
I will try to remember this Lise. Your boys are 11 and 13 now, time has gone by so fast. I pray they know we love them and hold them in our hearts, always and forever.
Much love,
Mom

Quiet Reflection on Lake Chelan
November 12, 2019
Dear Lise,
This month, November 2019, we celebrated the installation and unveiling of a beautiful bench in Chelan WA that we sponsored and dedicated in your and Faith's memory. We chose an up lake view that honors your love of Lake Chelan's scenic beauty. Time spent sitting on this bench will always remind us of the treasured family time that we spent here. This bench will remain as a symbol of our never ending love for you and Faith.
Love,

Christmas 2018 was a quiet and somber experience without you, Faith, Ray, and Mac. Mom set up and decorated the tree and hung wreaths on the door in your honor. This was the first year that she did not send out Christmas cards although we received many cards from close friends and relatives. We celebrate your life in pictures and fond memories. We love and miss you.

We continue to celebrate your June 6th birthday. We cherished the short time we spent with you. And we wish we had the opportunity to know and love our granddaughter Faith.

The hurt and pain goes on.

My mom is so loveable to me.
She takes care of me and I know
That she even fights for me. I love
Her and she love me. She's playful and huggable when you hurt inside. I surely know who to go to.
My mom of course. She helps me with
Homework that I need to do. She bakes and cooks just for me. And she also works for our house and to
Pay our bills. I love her and she loves me. We will always be together as you can see.
Christmas with the Boys!

Lise,
Last month was Halloween. November and December means Thanksgiving and Christmas. To many people, the holidays are times to celebrate with family and friends. However, the holidays are empty without you, Faith, Ray, and Mac. April 29, 2016 is a date etched in our memory. I will expand on this date in a later message. During our travels to Hawaii, your mom and I make it a point to bring back a memento that we share with you and Faith. On our last trip, mom brought home a turtle etched in a heart stone, another reminder of our love for you both.

I wanted you to know that despite the passage of time, your mom and I continue to bear the burden of your and Faith's loss. As you know, I visit your place of rest every Sunday after church. I recall your childhood, teenage years and young adult life. Life events have changed drastically since your passing. Foremost, we miss Ray and Mac greatly. We struggle every day especially during this holiday season.

Dear Lise and Faith,
I sit here revisiting our time here without you. I still can not put into words how much you are loved and missed. The holidays that you enjoyed so much are somehow harder to get through. They say that time will soften the ache, the grief. Not so, it is still just as intense as ever, but I do find it a bit easier to control the tears. I save them for my time with God, I give them to him as I know he understands my pain. He is the only one that truly understands all. I am so thankful that one day we will all be together again with no more pain or sorrow. God wins in the end. Missing you baby girl, always and forever.
Mom

It was a very difficult time for us as we have so many fond memories of your childhood and young life. I want you to know that we go with life with an emptiness that will always be with us. We love and miss you both.

Dear Lise,
Time has gone by, we are getting closer to the two year mark of your passing. I find myself still deep in grief, missing you so very much. Missing all the firsts that would have come with the birth and growing stages of our granddaughter, Faith. We are adding to this book to some day be able to pass onto Ray and Mac. We want them to know you and how much you were loved. Most of all we want them to know that your passing has made a huge impact on peoples lives. You were life, joy and love all in one person, you made people smile when you were in their presence. I miss that. I miss you. I thank God for allowing me to be your Mom. With God's promise that we will see you again, I have smiled and laughed again. I have joy when I see Ray and Mac. You would be so proud. I already see so much of you in them.
I will love you always and forever baby girl.

Lise,
I too have vacationed to Lake Chelan since I was a little girl, graduated from WSU a few years after you, and have been a sports minded individual my whole life. I remember hearing the story of your death and seeing your picture for the first time, you were incredibly beautiful, and the love you had for your family and friends goes beyond words. If there's one thing I've learned from you and your baby's passing, it's to embrace things I once took for granted, and embrace the word of the lord. Your love of the lord and your family's love/faith in the lord is the main legacy I will take from your life. The strength generated from this one relationship is inspirational. I have never been a very spiritual or religious person, and I regret criticizing those who were in the past. My understanding and determination to learn more of our lord is thanks to you. There must be some bigger plan out there for all of us, one we might not understand, but must accept and be strong. Your life is like a beautiful story. To me you will never be forgotten. Even though I never had the pleasure of meeting you, you have impacted my life in such a way that I can't explain. Much love to your family, to your husband and boys.
Mom Palmer
May 25, 2012
Dear Lise.
It has been almost one year since you have gone home to be with our Lord. I still some times think about what happened to you and Faithy and I just don't want to believe it. I get a sick feeling in my stomach.
I wish so bad more than anything that I have ever wanted for this not to have happened to you and Faith. You were so excited to have your baby girl that you prayed for and that you couldn't believe that it was going to happen. One would think you were the first woman to have baby girl. God must have know some thing that we did not and he called you home.
Today little Ray graduated from his preschool class and he did so good. You would be so proud of him. He is growing to be such a wonderful, caring little man. And he misses you so. He talks about you a lot. He is so handsome. We will have to chase the girls off.
Mac is so adorable. He knows your in heaven and looks at your pictures and says "my mommy" He is also very smart and handsome. You were a great mommy. You loved them so.
Because of your death Lise I read my bible more, talk to God more, try to take one day at a time, and try to savor every moment. I have also have learned to forgive more.
We love you so much Lise and miss you so. I know you are happier where you are with Faithy and I know some day soon we will get to see you again. I can't wait.
"I attend to your word oh Lord God. I keep it in the midst of my heart. It is life to me and health to all my flesh"

Lise,
I visited your and Faith's gravesite today. I often go by myself. Some days, I have a lot on my mind that I share with you. Other days, I sit there quietly and reflect on your life. I was impressed with the amount of flowers and other items of love that people have left for you and Faith.
I want to share with you the following quote from Gerald Lawton Sittser's book, A grace disguised, how the soul grows through loss. “If normal, natural reversible loss is like a broken limb, then catastrophic loss is like an amputation. The results are permanent, the impact incalculable, and the consequences cumulative. Each new day focuses one to face some new and devastating dimension of the loss. It creates a whole new context for one's life.” My heart remains broken since you left. I will never be the same again.
I told your mom that I wanted to write your story, a book about your life that we can share with Ray and Mac. This may take some time, but I already wrote a rough outline. With mom's help, we will get it done.
Love and miss you.

Dear Palmer Family
I just lost my brother in a car accident in June 1th.He left two boys and a wife. I know how you are feeling right now.I miss my brother so much and when I read your story in News Tribune I started to cry. Lise's life sounds much like my brother story. He was a good father, son, brother, friend and he was very spiritual person. There are not words to conform the pain but only God can give you resignation.I know Lise is an angel and now she is on heaven, and she will watch for her family .I dont know you Lise but I know you were a wonderful person.I am sad for this loss. You always be in my prayer. God bless you all.

Lise,
I've been thinking about and praying for your family every day. Your's and Faith's memorial was a very touching experience. I believe your life has been a testimony…at least it has to me. You have inspired me. You make me want to live life to the fullest, I enjoy my husband and children even more now! I believe I have much more patience, you’ve reminded me how precious and short life is and can be. You make me want to have a closer and more vibrant relationship with God.
Uncle Craig, Aunt Cathy, Ryan, please know that my family prays for you every day and that we are here if you need us! We are so sorry for your loss, we love you and hope you can find some peace and solace in those beautiful boys.
May God be with you.

Lise,
You will forever be my baby girl! Words can not begin to describe my love for you. I am praying for strength to get through each day, so hard to not just pick up the phone to talk with you, or see you come in our front door with both grandson's! I know you are in heaven with our sweet baby Faith, this does make it easier knowing you are together until we see you one day soon! Reading your daily scripture and prayer journal has given me great comfort, I will add the last few prayers from your journal to this page, hoping it will help others as well.
You were a beautiful daughter inside and out, living your life to the fullest, constantly moving, loving and telling all of your faith. You are a true gift from God, and I thank him for allowing us the time we had with you. Baby Faith was beautiful Lise, all you asked for, please give her hugs and kisses from her grandma and grandpa! I love you baby girl! We will continue to watch over your boys, sharing in their love of the Lord!
Forever in my heart,
Mom
Prayer that Lise left/wrote on her bathroom mirror in bright pink lipstick. Kathy, Janelle and I found on our first night home from Chelan:
Proverbs 4: 20-22
I attend to your word Lord God. I keep it in the midst of my heart. It is life to me and health to all my flesh.
Prayers from her journal that were read at Lise's memorial:
Lord I pray that you give me a heart of purity, thoughts and actions. I know that I will sin because I am human. But I can realize it and repent as soon as I know I am sinning. Lord, let me be a loving daughter, wife, mom and friend. Thank you for my family and sweet baby girl, and for allowing me to work out for my own sanity!
Lord, I pray that I have a change of heart, and before I pray and ask for things, to think first if it is really for me or for God. I would absolutely love to bring others to you, to have fun not partying, but following you. Show me and my husband how to live in the light and bring others to you. I love you and thank you for my children and my healthy baby girl! I am sorry for being so emotional yesterday, this pregnancy is making me nutso...must be this girl!
Lord, I pray that I have absolutely no inhibitions and follow your word, your guidance by the holy spirit daily. I don't want to wait to see to believe. I want to live by FAITH! Thank you for my family and baby girl! Thank you for being able to work out all through pregnancy!
Lord, I pray that you will use me as a testimony to others to trust your scripture, to believe 110% in everything I read that you have done or will do. I don't want to be like Thomas who didn't believe in you until he saw you. It will be too late for me, and for everyone if I wait until your time back or until I die. Lord, thank you for everything in my life, including my baby girl!
Lise's last prayer:
Lord, my prayer tonight is of thanks. Thank you for giving Ryan the day off and for a much needed family vacation! I love that this is the perfect timing in our lives to have one. Thank you again for everything. Please watch over our safe trip to Chelan and back. I love you.
Lise.

Lise,
It's hard for me to find the words to 'sum up' our lifelong friendship. I was truly touched, inspired, and comforted at your Memorial Service. I learned more about you; I saw with my own eyes how many people loved you. Your prayer journal was amazing - I need to ask your mom for a copy of it. Ryan was so brave and was able to somehow put into words his love for you and baby Faith. It was like nothing I'd ever heard. Now it's Thursday and we celebrated your life on Tuesday. All I can say is the after-celebration-of-life days are very hard. It is very sad knowing that you're still gone. Sometimes too sad for tears even. There is so much good about your life to focus on Lise – you were so loved by so many people. You had a great impact on my life and many others. I am praying that your family can find the strength they need to help your sweet boys get through this and that someday, somehow we will all have peace with it. It seems like a tall order, but I think that would be what you would want.
Love to you and your family always!

Lise...we are so proud of the beautiful woman, wife, and mom you became, but more than that, for the beautiful woman of God you were. What a great testimony your life has been! This was so evident yesterday. We will continue to pray for Ryan and the boys, and for your Mom & Dad, specifically for the Lord to give them strength on a daily basis until the day they see you again. We love you! Until we meet again ~ Aunt Joyce & Uncle Rocky

Palmer and Macadangdang families,
I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know Lise but am awed at the outpouring of love and celebration of her life on these and other pages.

I was a first responder to the sad accident scene. I am grateful that Lise's fb page was opened so that we could experience how she lived rather than how she died. I know that how she lived will remain a blessing to her family and help to shape her children to love and know the Savior. For the family who feared she may have died alone, she did not she was surrounded by people in prayer.

Lise, We will never understand why God chooses to take those he does, however we know he must have had a very good reason for choosing an amazing person like you. God bless you and baby Faith, until we meet again.

Cathy and Family,
I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Lise was such a beautiful girl, inside and out. My heart absolutely aches for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you Cathy and I am thinking of you.

Dear Cathy and family,
I will be picking Carly up tonight at Sky Harbour as I await her arrival, she's coming from Lise'memorial service.
As this is hard to write, I'd like you to know how our lives are once again intertwined.
Once, when I was Nordstrom employed... We were a "Nordy" family
Once, when our girls played Rogers b-ball...We were their basketball family
Once again, never to forget I also LOST a child as he was only turning 3.
Clayton died April 20th-was buried April 23rd - he was turning 3 on April 24th.
His birth defect took his years but really this was his own destiny.
Losing a child IS TOUGH-it's not the order of family, it shouldn't be before the parents,but as you will see it doesn't matter of the years... 3...13...or 30, it really is their own destiny.
What DOES MATTER is knowing the pain is
deep when you love deep and in time it turns into a deeper love of life, a richer faith with more spirituality.
Grieve now, take care of yourself, your loved ones here as Lise would want you to continue to enjoy life!
Oh Gosh...that special class of 2000
your Lise...my Marc... and the rest of the gang- all a big happy family[all in Selahs's van] all a special group indeed...
never loosing touch- always in contact
a true sense of family.
As you and Craig know Lise has truely touched so many lives in her short lifetime here, but as her legacy of faith and love here on earth continues that explains the name of her" baby girl to be" and also her love of family.
My love to you, Craig, Ryan "the boys"and the rest of her family.

Although I never met Lise, my family and I drove by the scene of the accident on our way to Chelan. I was heart broken at the time and even more so after hearing of her young family. Since that day, not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about you and prayed for your family. I visit Chelan numerous times a year and I know I will never again make that drive into Chelan without thinking of your family and praying for you and your boys. May God comfort all of you and give you peace during this difficult time. Her life has touched many people, even those who were never able to meet her.

I never knew you Lise, but I'm so deeply saddened and touched by this tragedy. So many loved you, you must've been a true angel while here on earth. My heart aches for your husband and sons, you have a beautiful family. I hope in time they can continue living the life you would want them to.

Because of you...I've hugged my loved ones tighter. Because of you...I've become more present in the present. Because of you…I look at this world more clearly. Because of you…I know HE is doing work in all of our hearts. I have been rocked to the core by the loss of you and baby Faith. I only knew you briefly in school but what I remember is that everyone loved and adored you. Me, my fiancé and his family know Ryan and we are all broken hearted for everyone. Your love and the impact you’ve made on those around you shows just how special you were. You will be forever loved and missed. Today we will celebrate the beautiful person you were!
