I've written Lisa's husband separately, but would like to write a little something here. I had the pleasure of knowing Lisa since 1993. We were born the same year. She was such a special lady. I never in a million years thought I'd know an author, Ph.D., woman of the world - I am none of those things -- who was also so very down to earth and a wonderful friend. I will miss her very much.
