My precious East Coast Mamma;
It hardly feels like five years have passed since you left us, yet it feels like forever since I've heard your laugh or seen the mischievous twinkle in your eyes.
I can't express how much I miss our long talks, and just being with you.
You have been so faithful in gifting me with annual birthday blooms on my orchids - and I need only look to them to know that you're near.
Until we meet again, so much love - e

Dear Leatrice~
My thoughts, prayers, and sympathy are with you.

Lisa was very welcoming to me when I married Bill Prickett 22 years ago, as was Jimmy. She made me feel welcome and always had great fun parties.

Thank goodness she is no longer suffering. As she would want, we must remember the great stories and wonderful times we had with her.

God Bless and my deepest sympathy,

I remember the first time I saw you, NYC 1950. I thought you were so special and the years proved I was right. I will not weep because you are gone but rather smile because your were here.

Just a note to express my deepest condolences to family. I had the Great pleasure to Meet and deal With Lisa during the construction of the Fieldstone Clubhouse, which I was Project Manager on. The 1st meeting showed me a person that knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid of any challenge. Truly wish circumstances were different and I could have kept in touch after I moved on.

Strong kind woman who I admired greatly. Comfortable with who she was and didn't put on airs.

Could buy and sell most, but never flaunted it and acted just like normal people. World lost a dynamic individual with her passing.

Special place for her in the hereafter.

Thank you Mrs. Moseley. You have a special place in my heart.

Precious Lisa, I'm trusting that you always knew how deeply you were (and continue to be ) loved by your "zone 4" little band of family/friends: Erin, her husband, and me. Selfishly, I am profoundly saddened that I won't have the pleasure of your company, humor, hospitality, and especially the sense of truly having a kindred-spirit here on earth.

From the moment I met you, there was a special bond - you and I both loved Erin and Erin and I both loved you. Although Fieldstone took Erin far from home, you filled in so many of the blank spaces in her life being not only an employer but a mentor, confidant, friend, and sometime collaborating mischief-maker. You gave my beloved daughter an abiding love and spirit that she will always cherish and I am deeply grateful to you for that... you were "mom" to her, too. You gave me a wonderfully warm and genuine friendship that distance and geography couldn't diminish, along with fabulous memories of your visit to "zone 4" and the boat ride on the Chief Winnebago, visiting with you and Christopher overlooking your exquisite garden, you coming solo to Erin's birthday party, and, the most memorable, wild, and over-the-top dynamite Thanksgiving celebration I ever expect to have in my lifetime.

Rest in God's loving arms, dear friend. Know you're loved beyond measure.

My dear "East Coast Mama,"
My heart is in shatters learning of the loss to this world of your shining spirit and contagious laugh.
Your amazingly generous nature and kindness over the past twenty-some years has seared your name in my heart forever, and makes your loss unbearably painful for this eternally grateful girl from "Out West."
I will never forget our belly-bursting laughs as we went on our Thanksgiving night ghost hunting adventure; as you talked guns and good whiskey and charmed the heck out of my 20-year old neighbor boy when you came to visit my humble MN townhome; our countless late-night conversations in the library giggling like schoolgirls; taking you out for pizza - and you liking it(!); and innumerable inside jokes, stories, and most importantly, the time you so generously shared with me, my mom, and my husband.
If there is anything that could bring a smile in these dark days, is that you are now reunited with your beloved husbands who had gone before you and were patiently awaiting your arrival.
You changed my life, beautiful lady, and I will love you forever.
Pour me a glass of white, and I'll see you in a bit. For now, however, I shall deeply grieve the painful loss of a dear, true, honest, genuine and cherished friend.
