The passage of time does not dim the memories of true friendship. Lisa, Paul, Tyler and Whitney, we have wonderful memories of the many special moments we shared with you. We are so blessed to have watched you grow as you passed through many of the seasons of your lives. The world would be a better place, if Lisa's seasons had not been cut short. May God give you the strength to go on living without your beautiful Lisa, until you are rejoined in God's Heavenly Kingdom. Love and Heartfelt Sympathy from The Pergola Family.

My name is Bill Lombardi and I taught with Lisa at Ralston Valley when the school was newly built. Lisa was such a warm and friendly person and I can remember her being a dedicated and responsible educator. I remember her as a member of the P.E. Department but also remember that for at least one or two semesters was responsible for teaching Home Economics with Martha Batch. Every time I came back to RV after I retired and saw Lisa, she always had a smile and hello for me. I know she will be greatly missed by her Department and the school. My thoughts and prayers have and are with you all.

We send our heartfelt condolences to the entire Nelson and Schamp families for your loss. We hope the following quotation, in some small measure, will help you through the healing process. "To live in the hearts and memories of those we leave behind, is to never die" [anonymous]. God bless you all.

The thing I will remember most about Lisa is that her love was unconditional. Although physically beautiful and athletically gifted, it was her inner beauty that shone through and drew people to her. She was taken far too soon, but I know she's happy and pain-free in the palace of our Lord God and Savior. I'll miss you, Lis.

She was an amazing person, and it was a blessing to have her in my life. She taught me so much, and her strength was unbelievable. Her life was a perfect example of how you should live; like everyday is your last. I love her so much, and I know she can now look over all of us. Praying for her family.
