Not sure what to say?

"Free"

I crossed over, but I am not gone.
I am simply singing a new song.

I am here by your side.
Enjoying this new journey like a ride.

Daughters enjoy your time on this earth.
and I will see you again at the next birth.

Let go, smile and dance.
Walk this earth with an energetic prance.

Always and forever,
Sicily

You remain forever with me, in my heart and at my side — I miss you.

I will always remember her with gratitude and friendship. We became good friends although we never met in person but talked online and on the phone. Lisa loved animals and especially Nellie, a beautiful fox-red yellow lab that she cared for as a puppy and who later became our own. She sent me so many things for Nellie through the years and other goodie boxes of things that she had that she thought we would enjoy. I miss our conversations and wish I had known, never got to tell her how much I...

I love you Mom!
Just thinking of you..

We send our sincere our condolences. We will miss our friendly neighborhood protector. She was sure to keep an eye for anything or anyone out of place and we never would know she was going through such a health battle. She seemed so lively. We pray for the comfort of Lisa's family who will surely miss her.

Our family was deeply sorry to hear of Lisa's passing. She was such a caring person and was always willing to share whatever she could with others. We will miss her joyful and bubbly personality and warm talks. To her beautiful daughters and grandkids, "You have our heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences."

Lisa, I am so saddened that you left us so soon. We used to connect in the past, but our lives changed. Didn't each other often, but occasionally we talked
Or sent each other texts. Lately, I have sent you a lot of pictures of cat videos on messenger. I tried to plan a lady's get together at my house this summer,but partly my sciatic pain was hindering my social life, I tried many things.thearpy,chro but I am doing my own self health of researching.And trying different things i've gotten...

I sorry for your loss I know Lisa from our Abbott days wonderful person she will be miss deeply

I am so very sorry to hear that Lisa passed away. I was unaware she was ill. I have known her for over 25 years. She would hang out at my dad’s bar, she used to go to our Moose lodge in Zion and to Toby’s. We would meet up after work sometimes at Jester’s and just talk and drink and have a great time together. She had a great sense of humor. Rest in peace. You will be missed dearly. My sincere condolences to family.
