Not sure what to say?

Lisa & I met at a cancer support group at Longstreet. She will be sorely missed.

Oh sweet Lisa, beautiful friend ... my heart is broken that you had to go, but I am trusting in your words "God got this" & that He has you now ... how lucky He is. Run to your sweet momma & grab those babies from her loving arms giving them those hugs & kisses you longed for for so long. Rest easy with them all now. The picture below of me with the ladybug earring was a gift from her. It just came in the mail out of the blue with a note that she was thinking of me. This was so Lisa. She had...

I miss seeing your posts. It is bittersweet when I look back on my Facebook memories and see your comments. I know that you are right next to your husband and I am hoping he can feel you. All I feel is a empty place in my heart. I am not used to this nor am I ready for it. I am not going to say goodbye because I know in my heart I will see you again. When you see my children please give them a hug and a kiss from me. I love you sweet friend and miss you so much xo

Lisa, I miss you so much! What a sweet special spirit you have ! I loved coming by with lunch and "crash" on you sofa. Rich got STARS so we could watch Outlander. He has been so good to you. I truly believe because of Rich´s excellent care, you´d been given extra time You shared your birthday with my husband Mitch. Please say "hi" to him for me in Heaven. I miss you so much. Thanks for the sweet sincere friendship we´ve shared. See you soon dear friend

Lisa is a true gem of a human. When I first met her, I wondered how many red bulls she may have drank but really Lisa was just full of life and energy. She would update me on the recent trips she had with Rich or talk about her next 5K/training routine. She shared vulnerable moments and always expressed love to her family. Thank you Lisa for being in our lives and showing us the importance of being kind and living life with a heart of gold! May you rest in peace, sweet country mouse!

I knew that I would miss you I just did not realize how much. Everyday and before I fall asleep beautiful friend I think of you. I think about your hubby and I know he is hurting so much and wish there was more I could do to comfort him. A light was extinguished when you left and it amazes me how one soul so full of light and love leaving would make this world feel empty. If I am not writing to you as much it is not because I have forgotten you. That is impossible to do. My heart is broken...

Lisa has been a friend and mail client for years!
