Our deepest and heartfelt sympathies are extended to the Mitchelson family. Lisa was certinally one-of-a-kind and will be forever missed. I will always remember Lisa being one of my favorite people, especially for her ability to always make me laugh. It didn't matter how often I saw her, we were able to make conversation as if we just saw one another yesterday. Lisa was one of those people you wanted to be around, and were very fortunate to have in your life. I will miss her.



Love,



Christina Delani and family

My heartfelf condolences go out to everyone in Lisa's family. She was definately one of a kind. I have many wonderful memories of our youth together. After all these years, in the last few days days funny things have popped into my mind that Lisa made me suffer through,like watching the Red Sox (which I love today,her favorite hunk then was Butch Hobson) God forbid he got married. Watching soap operas which she got me and everyone else addicted too. The great times we had sleeping out in the tents at Kathy's & Monica's house. The time we house sat at my brother's. The blizzard of "78", that was the coolest ever with all the house parties, sleepovers NO SCHOOL.Life was very good. My first trip away going to Nantucket at Kathleen's house,where it was almost my last when I got caught in the fog on that little sunfish.I was never so happy to see Lisa and her mother's face. That trip we were all pinning for Jeep Williams whose parents owned the Barnside and they were vacationing in Nantucket on their boat. I could go on and on. Life goes on and people change but I will cherish Lisa in my heart of all the wonderful times we had in our youth. I truly believe the red sox are getting the help from their red sox angel.
