David & Kristy I´m sorry to hear about Lisa´s passing, I recently heard about her passing. I met Lisa through work during COVID 2020/2021. Always decorated her cubicle and office entrance area for the holiday. She always greeted me with a smile and we would chat about traveling, Star Wars, Peanuts and the holidays. At times she would mention about her battle, tests; she always remained positive.

I met Lisa while volunteering at the Friends of the Berlin Peck Memorial Library. We became fast friends and started walking together Sunday mornings at Pistol Creek. We were both very proud of saving that piece of land from becoming yet another sports field in a town with too many sports fields already. Lisa was goofy and happy and a good friend. My whole family got to know her and because we were old before our time....I called her Mabel and she called me Tilly. I'm so sorry to hear she passed from cancer. I really thought she had this beat after the 3rd time. My heart goes our to Mr. Mathews and Kristy
