Lissie was an angel and a it was a true blessing to know her for the short period of time I did,she was always so sweet to me and I will never forget her. Everyday the first thing she did when she saw me was greet me with a big hug and kiss on the cheek. I was very lucky to also get to form friendships with a lot of family members and I just wants to tell you how truly sorry I am for your loss of such a great woman. My prayers and condolences are with you guys!
