Not sure what to say?

I still think about Lisa and how much I admired her. She was a very classy lady.

So sorry to hear of Lisa's passing. We went all through grade school to high school together. Much sympathy to her family.

Lisa was like a breath air and a very good friend of my brother Mark who was unable to attend. Please accept our deepest sympathy - Beverly Jane Bauchert, Susan Bauchert Proper, Sandy Bauchert Titus, Mark Richard Bauchert and Rex Hal Bauchert.

My heart aches for Carolyn, Kris and your family. I have such wonderful memories of a vibrant, always smiling Lisa and her great sense of humor. She was a mentor to me in high school and a great role model as an adult. My prayers will continue to be with you all. Heaven has welcomed a most wonderful new angel.

Kris: So very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
