To Lisa's Family - I was one of her classmates although school, she always treated people with kindness and that infectious smile bounded across room, we shared classes and band together and then more I think and remember the more profound her loss becomes. She defined "good people" I am sorry for your loss - but Heaven is blessed to have her, as we were blessed to have her for the time that we did.
