I was so sorry to read about Lisa's passing. Brought back many memories of playing basketball at Holland High School. Although I did not have the opportunity to see her for many years, I remember how sweet and funny she was and always enjoyed Lisa as a teammate. May God be with you during this difficult time and please know that your family, that we think of so fondly, will be in our prayers!

We were so sorry to hear about Lisa. We send our sympathy and love to your family. She was one of my first friends at Community Reformed Church when our family moved to Zeeland in 1982. She was a sweetheart!
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

James my best memory of Lisa and you was when Cyndi and I visited you in Holland. It was a time of connecting, sightseeing and laughing - especially when our dogs tore up their potty pads in you bathroom. Blue and white stuff no bigger than a fingernail everywhere!!! I am glad we had this and many other visits to remember her by. God's peace and blessings on you and your family during this time. Love Aunt Cheryl
