She loved good food and wine, art, travel, exercising and making her home look beautiful. Lisa was a strong woman, loving wife, compassionate mother and loyal friend who will always be loved. During the last year of her life, Lisa fell in love with Jesus and without telling anyone she went to see him in person. Survived by her husband and love of her life, Preston Wood; children, Madison, Elliott and Noah; mother, Rondy Allen (Vaughn); father, David Kennison (Yvonne); brother, Jerry (Crystal); sister, Lynn Hough (Paul); and preceded in death by brother, Jeffery Lynn Kennison.

Precious Wood family,
My heart aches for your loss. Lisa was always a bright ray of sunshine whenever I saw her. I feel so fortunate to have known her. She taught me many things and I admired her very much. The last time we spoke her thought were about all of you. She loved you so much. You are in my prayers. Peace be with you.

July 22, 2010

What a beautiful young woman! I did not know her personally, but I DO know those who fall in love with Jesus. I am so sorry for your loss. No circumstances make such a loss any easier. Even so, this life is just a fleeting moment according to poets and prophets. One can't help but wonder what great things are happening in ranks of the army of Jesus Christ. All lovers of Jesus can't help but look into Lisa's face right now and be inspired to "soldier on" for the cause.

To Lisa's husband and children,

"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:"

Lisa loves you the same today as she did last week. We who remain with you mourn her loss also. Let us know how we might help at this time of mourning and beyond.

Preston and family, It is with such heavy heart to be writing to you today. I just stumbled across Lisa's obituary. Preston, I am so so sorry. I know how much love you have for Lisa. It's so difficult to understand why the Lord would allow this to happen.

May the Lord hold you and keep you close. I pray for peace in all of your hearts right now.
Much Love,
