Lisa,
There are no words that can express mine and Shawn's sadness right now. You were truly a wonderful Mother, wife and friend and especially a beautiful soul. I will forever remember all of the fun times we all had together, especially during football season! I laugh and smile out loud when I think of us all hollering at the TV over Saints and LSU games! You were such a trooper to put up with all of us fanatics, but, ended up becoming one yourself! You were always so kind to me and would always be there with a listening ear when I needed you. You opened up your home and heart to us and we will forever be grateful and blessed to have had you as our friend. I will miss you so much and I will forever cherish our memories we all made together. Your children are all beautiful human beings and you did a wonderful job raising them. You also have a beautiful granddaughter that I know you were so proud of! I know you will look down upon us from Heaven and shine your beautiful light down on us. We will miss you SO much, my dear Lisa. We love you!!!!!! Shawn and Lana Slyfield

Thank you all for your comments about my sister, Lisa. It has been comforting to me to read comments from those whose lives she touched, particularly the parents of children she taught and of friends from our alma mater, University High School. On behalf of my mom, Shirley, and my brothers, Mark and Jack, I thank you.

Childhood friends from U-High are friends for life. It is such a small circle of life that when one of us falls we all feel something is terribly missing. I will hold her in my heart always. L

What great memories we have of Lisa at UHS...she had such a beautiful smile and added so much joy to everything she was involved with. I am sure she was a fabulous teacher because her father was an amazing math teacher at UHS. Special prayers for her family.

You now have a special angel watching over all of you.
Lisa taught my children at Plantation Elementary and she was fantastic. They both loved her and her enthusiasm. Lisa encouraged them to excel. She will always be in our hearts.

Mrs. Lejeune was a WONDERFUL teacher who cared very deeply for her students. If it hadn't been for her dedication, our daughter Lennon wouldn't have had the opportunity to excel. She will be sorely missed. I am grieved that she will not have the opportunity to teach my middle daughter in 2 years. God bless you, Lisa, you're loved more than you know.
