I miss you Lisa and think of you often. I have so many memories. You were truly the best! Hoping you’re hanging out with loved one’s that passed before you and all the rock legends you loved and introduced me to. May you watch over your family and be with them when they are missing you and struggling.
Love,
Deedee

We were so surprised & sorry to get a call from Keith letting us know that Lisa had passed away. We could hardly understand him as he was so filled with grief. We were in Missouri when he called , so we could not attend the funeral. Our thoughts & Prayers are with the whole family. God Bless. Daryl & Betty Forsberg

I knew Lisa briefly, but it was long enough to know she was kind and a regular gal. Funny how you can have only a few good conversations with someone, but it's enough to bring tears at news of their passing. That was Lisa. I'm happy she is free and easy now that she's on the other side. Kids, now you have a powerful angel for a mom & grandma, don't underestimate that. My sympathies at how much you all will miss her.

Dear sister-in-law~ I am saddened that your time on this earth has been cut so short! How am I going to keep those Haapoja boys in line without your help?! You will be so missed! I will look after Mikey and Alicia as if they were my own! Don't you worry because I will keep mike in line as well! I will always cherish our last visit together and the kind words you told the nurse about me. Love to you always and forever!!!!
