Dear Florence, Margret, Rex and the Ragsdale Family. I am so sorry, more than words can say, to hear of Lisa's passing. With Florence loosing her husband of so many wonderful years just a short time ago, and Margret her father this is just so hard. I know. The the Ragsdale family who also lost a wonderful Grandpa in law and Great Grandpa and now your wife and mother..my heart goes out to you. Warren was my dad's cousin and they were each others best man at each others wedding. Warren has always been a wonderful friend and person, as is his wife and daughter. Although I never have met Lisa I have been reading about her and know what a wonderful and loving person she was. The shock of this will take time to get over. I know since I have lost two of my own children, and my Mom and Dad too. It just hurts each differently but the pain is there. I am keeping you all.. everyone of you.. in my thoughts and prayers.
May you find comfort in our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, and in all those He has given you that love and care about you.

Brent, Blaine, Logan, Jeremy and Vivian,
It was such an honor knowing your Wife and Mother even if, it were for a brief moment in time. What a strong, funny and kind woman. Brent, her warmth and kindness reminded me so much of your Mom. I miss them both. Children, I will miss Lisa's updates on your well being. She spoke of you so lovingly. Family, I am sorry that I could not make the service, but you are all in my thoughts and heart. Love, Temple

Dear Brent, Jeremy, Logan and Blaine,
There are no words. Please, please know that as time passes it will get a little better to deal with, and that it will be okay -- not the same okay, but a different type of okay. If you need anything, anything at all, know that you have someone who has been through it and who is willing and waiting to provide support. You have been incredible friends to our family during our own time of grief, and we want to return the favor.
Xenia, Jesse and Reggie

Dear Brent, Logan, Jeremy, Vivian, and Wilson families,
Lisa was an extraordinary individual in so many ways, but most importantly as a devoted and loving wife, mom, daughter, and sister. I will greatly miss her humor, her friendship, and her passion and commitment to the work we were doing together. May you find comfort in knowing how much she loved you and in her pride to call you family.

Dear Brent and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with and your precious family. Lisa was a loving mother and that was always evident in her volunteer work. It was an honor to know Lisa through scouts. Her dedication as a den leader was appreciated by all. As I picked up our mail yesterday, I looked across the park and saw your beautiful backyard. I'll never forget how she beamed as we toured the love and labor that both of you put into your garden. My last memory of Lisa was seeing her at Northwest's Back to School night. She was radiant as she carried her precious new daughter through the halls. Your loss is great but your memories are even greater. Cherish the memories for they will sustain you and the children. Celebrate her life.
Fondly,
Lori and Paul Barnett

My heart goes out to the Ragsdale and Wilson families during this difficult time. Mom called me Sunday night to share this news as she was in the process of reaching all of us girls. I will always remember Kevin, Kevin and Lisa even though they were years ahead of me and my sisters in the Marion schools. Then there's Mr. Wilson who had to be one of the best teachers, not only in math but life as well. When unfortunate things like this happen, it makes the rest of us remember to not take life for granted and live life to the fullest. May you find comfort in these words.

What can I say. There are no words to express my deepest sympathy. Lisa was always friendly and upbeat. She was a joy to be with and will never be forgotten. May God give you the strength to carry you though this tragic event. I will keep you in my prayers.
