Lisa was the beautiful girl with the fabulous hair that used to tease Darcy and I. I have so many memories of her when they lived across the street in Boise. Lisa used to drive Darcy and I everywhere in her bug and I remember getting stuck more than once in the snow when Darcy and I had to get to the roller skating rink or the arcade. I am sure she will be missed by many and I am so sorry for the families loss and my heart goes out to Darcy and her family.

When Darcy and I were growing up, Lisa was the "cool" big sister. It was always a special treat when she'd spend time with us. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope all who love her are able to find some peace knowing she's with angels now. My thoughts are with you.

Of all the women in my family and life I don't think anyone ever had more joy to share. Lisa was always laughing and smiling. Talking with her about "old" times and that laugh would warm my heart. Her mother, her sister, anyone who knew lisa, was changed. I love you Lisa, Paula

Although I never knew Lisa, I have known her mother, Dena, for several years, and through that friendship feel that I knew Lisa. My heart goes out to the entire family, knowing how much they loved her and will miss her.
