I would like to offer my condolences to Bess, David, Daniel, Stuart, Debbie, Heidi and Greg. Lisa and I met in the 6th grade. We had a lot of good times together. She was like a sister to me. I will always love her and cherish her memory. I will never forget her.

In loving memory of Lisa Fishbein. Lisa was my favorite cousin and very close friend. Lisa was a sincere and loving human being. Lisa was activist for peace and also loved to sing. It is such a shame that her voice has been silenced. Lisa fought to the very end. Life will never be the same for those she touched and loved. Taken away too soon. We ask why but there is no answer. Lisa is survived by her loving and devoted mother Bess, brother Stu and loving wife Debbie, nephew Greg and niece Heidi of Atlanta. She also leaves her life partners Daniel and Dave. Cousins Lonnie and Steven of Atlanta, Jackee of Clearwater Florida.
In our hearts forever. Lisa we love and miss you so much. Rest well, the pain is gone....oxoxoxoxo.
