I still think of Lisa all the time, wishing I would have found her before she passed. Thankful now I am friends with Pat on facebook and get to see how everyone is. I miss them all!

I have been looking for my friend, Lisa ( and Pat) , for many years and to my dismay I saw this online. I went to Glassboro State College with Lisa and Pat and was proud to know both. Lisa had such a spirit about her and was truely a best friend to me while I attended college there. I have thought about her often and wished we could have communicated over the years. My deepest sympathy to Pat and your entire family. You will be in my prayers.

Pat and sons,
I don't have the words to express how very sad I am at Lisa's passing. She was a bright light in this world of ours, and it is dimmer now that she is gone. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to the family. Steven and my daughter have been in school and day programs together for years now. Steven is a real sweetheart. Lisa was always so pleasant to be around. She will be missed.
