Katrina, Heather, Raymond and family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Lisa was a terrific and compassionate PCA. We spent many years together while I worked on the Orthopedics service. She fed me many cookies along the way! She was a good friend and will be sorely missed! She would always lend me an ear if I needed to talk and knew how to make me laugh. My sincerest condolences. May your family find peace in this difficult time.

Lisa, I'll think I will always be looking for you as I sit at the desk at 35 North. You were part of what I have come to know as a family; in that family you loved, argued, joked, helped, fed, scolded, and gave endlessly. You had the remedies for headaches, stomachaches and the candy for soothing the pains for daily life. I only knew you for two years and yet I feel as though I've known you for longer than that, because you shared yourself unselfishly. You have left a legacy of love to your beloved family and friends. You will never be forgotten, and the memories we have of you will be shared for years to come. Sending love to you, as you sit on that cloud in heaven, Kate

Lisa-Your humor, sarcasm and sharp wit will be sorely missed by all you knew. You had an honest, upfront, say anything attitude and we loved you all the more for it. You had a special way with the elderly and we could always count on you to befriend the confused patients and calm them down. The pride and love you felt for your family was evident in how you loved showing us photos and talking about them. You were incredibly proud of your children and I'm so glad you got to spend some time with them before you passed.
Wishing your family and friends comfort and healing.
35 North will never be the same.
