I first met Lisa in January of this year when I was hired to be the new Executive Director of Families and Community Together, where Lisa served as our Board president since 2012. Lisa was truly a warm and kind hearted person who always had a smile or friendly greeting to share. Lisa's leadership and dedication to our agency's mission of serving the children and families of Union County will be greatly missed. On behalf of the entire agency, I offer my sincerest condolences to all of Lisa's family and friends.
Sincerely,
