Dearest Lisa,
16 years. The blink of an eye, and yet forever.
We do not move on from grief, but we learn to move forward with it.

In a couple of days from now, Lisa journeyed to heaven twelve years ago.
Not a day goes by, that she is not with me, Mom & Laura. There are still times, that I can hear her contageous laughter. I know she is still giving comfort to all that remember her. God be patient with her, because she is so special.

Happy birthday up there, Lis. Always think of you today. This photo was at my first birthday party on Sunnyside that you were at. It is of Laura being, as my mom diplomatically called it, "helpful" in telling me exactly how I should eat my cupcake. My mom says she "helped" you with your cupcake too. How would we have ever managed to eat any desserts without her guidance? :) XOXO always and always.

2012 Lisa! I can't believe it. I think of you often and actually have seen a couple things that I believe you were a part of. Just keeping everybody safe I see. Thank you. Wishing everyday you were here to share life with. But we all know there was another place you needed to be. I also want to thank you for helping me along my spiritual path. You have been a great teacher.
I love you with my whole being and heart. Always.

Three years, Lisa.
In garage-cleaning, I recently found the small duffel bag that you used to create an emergency road trip packet to send with Laine on her solo drive from AZ to WA.You were horrified that she would travel without such supplies.You'll be happy to know that the flares and hand sanitizer are still intact. Miss you.

I always think of you, Lisa, but especially today. I am both happy and grateful that the last time I saw you was so wonderful. You made me a collage of pictures and wrote me a funny note to go along with it, and slipped the folder into my hands as I left your house. You did it for no reason at all and I am still touched by your gesture. "LB" Crew!

Walking in a fabric store recently,I remembered the flurry of planning and activities that preceded our neighborhood's favorite holiday, Halloween, in the 1980's. Now is the time to be planning costumes! Time to devise a Trick-or-Treating route! Time to shop for give-away candy! One of my all-time favorite pix is the one of Laura, Lisa and Laine in front of your fireplace, before leaving for the night's adventures. Those were good times. Love all of you.
August 5, 2009
Just wanted to let you know that you are all in my thoughts on a regular basis. I thought of you with special memories when Don and I were in Flagstaff recently and passed Little America. What wonderful memories of the trip 'the girls' took that snowy weekend.
I love you all -

I know it's delayed, but I want to express my sorrow and deepest sympathy to Lisa's Family. The last time I saw Lisa was at Ernies singing and laughing and sharing that beautiful smile. I hadn't seen her in a few years and she was so warm and inviting and it was like we hadn't missed a day. I was good friends with Laura in High School and send my love to her. May God be with you

Oh my Gosh, Thank you all. It is fun to remember the times we all laughed. Pigs were great! Running down the street with or without much on. The Halloween parties you all participated in to the fullest. These times were the best for all of us. Lisa loved Halloween.
