Not sure what to say?

I too was a classmate of Lisa at Coleman. I'll always remember hew sweet smile! I did not know of her career and since learning of her passing I have listened to her music. I am glad to know that she was able to touch many hearts and souls through her music.

My condolences to her family. She will be missed.

I was a classmate of Lisa's for 4 years at Colemen. I remember her being involved in Children's Theater and how she sang and played her guitar. She was a very beautiful girl with a warm smile. A few years ago I contacted her by email and she sent me a Christmas card with some kind words. I was saddened to hear of her passing and offer my condolences to her family.

I met Lisa just once, in her capacity as a DJ at KKUP in Cupertino. Lisa was hosting a radio birthday party for a young girl named Olivia. Olivia dreamed that for her 11th birthday, her friends and family would help her raise money to save the sea turtles instead of buying her gifts. Lisa generously gave Olivia some airtime to help support the cause.

Dave Carter and I were a couple of touring musicians coming down from Portland, Oregon for a show at Espresso Garden & Cafe in San...

Like Susan, I too fondly remember our circle of friends in high school. Images of Lisa singing and playing her guitar are warmly remembered. Any time I hear "Blackbird singing in dead of night · Take these broken wings and learn to fly · All your life · You were only waiting for this moment to arise......, " the voice and music I hear in my head is Lisa's.
We had the opportunity to reconnect, briefly, here in Albany shortly before she moved to California. My deepest condolences to her...

Lisa was one of my first friends. Her Aunt lived next door to me and we played and laughed together as little kids, then went all through kindergarten, grammar school and high school together. Her mother was actually my Third Grade teacher.
I particularly remember Lisa involved in Children's Theater at Coleman H.S. in our production of Pinocchio. She stepped in in an emergency and saved the day!
Lisa was a fun, talented, gentle soul who made the world a more livable and lovable...

Lisa was my very closest friend for most of our high school years. We drifted apart but I saw her again when both of our children were very small.

She was an outstanding talent, a gentle, sweet and very funny person and I still have notes we sent to each other that make me laugh.

I am very sad that the world has lost another sweet soul. My deepest condolences to her family - many people understand who you've lost.
