It was 5 years ago, that Lisa fell into a coma. It was because of a head injury. I was devastated! They kept her on life support until her family and friends could arrive. She passed away on February 21st. Lisa asked me to marry her on November 17th, just over three months earlier, before she passed. I of course said yes, as we were very much in love! Not a day goes by, that I dont think of her! A part of my heart will always belong to her! Lisa, I love you very much, and I miss you horribly! R.I.P. my love! I cant believe its been 5 years all ready!

Hi Lisa! This morning a lady who was your exact double, came in to my store. You know I believe everything happens for a reason ! Maybe, she was sent here , to remind me of how much, I love and miss you! When she left , I was in tears. Happy to see your face, but sad, because I miss you so much! I love you forever my dear Lisa! R.I.P. My dear!

So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I remember getting to know her and you all through the play group and babysitting co-op when you lived in Berkeley Springs. I remember the Apple Corps she put together the year she organized the Apple Butter parade. What fun it was to hear about her experiences during the winter Olympics! She was all about living life.

Tim and I would like to send our sincere condolences to the Mahon family, the Gruber family and to the Dorris family, especially to her Frans. Lisa was a dear friend to me for over 30 years. I was blessed and so fortunate to have her in my life. She had such a kind way about her and always tried to help others. She helped me through some very difficult times and for that I will always be thankful. The greatest gift she gave me, besides her friendship, is my husband Tim. Lisa and I went on a cruise together in 2007 and I let her decide what ship we would sail on. She picked the Inspiration sailing from Tampa and the first night of our cruise, I met Tim. I always told her that she led me to him and for that I would be ever grateful. Tim and I were married last month and he said Lisa gave me my life. You will always be in close in our hearts. Goodbye dear friend. You will be missed.

To Lisa's children, I am so very sorry for the pain that you are going through right now. I hope that you will find the peace of mind to move forward with the next part of your lives. Lisa was a caring person. She was kind and always welcoming to my kids, and they always had a special place in her heart. Frans, soldier on, dear boy. I will keep you in my thoughts.
Blessings.
