I met Lisa briefly a few weeks back and the chance meeting was one of the best of my life. I didn't know her but talked to her for a short time and she had incredible grace and strength I was better for meeting her.

I didn't know Lisa very well, but I always think of the rainbow bridge for our furry friends. I can only picture Lisa being reunited with God and the family that has passed before her. Our prayers are with those have yet to cross that bridge.

I meant to put this on FB as I knew Lisa enjoyed reading when people accepted Jesus in their life, but "getting around to it" has proved to be later.
I grew up in a Lutheran church and always believed and trusted in God & Jesus, I was a literal child, some call it gullible, but if you told me, I believed. I was fortunate as I never doubted God existed nor that Jesus was sent to save us. I have had to recommitt my heart and get my priorities back in check throughout my life as Ive grown and regressed through my walk with Christ. But through it all, Hes always been right there, waiting for me to give him the reigns to my life again. Without God in my life, I coulda never made it this long, let alone been sooo blessed.
Lisa, in your Earthly life your Spirit was infectious and you mentored so many lives..may your Heavenly life be twice an inspiration to Us all. Listening to you in our "talks", one word always came to mind...REVIVAL! That's what I always saw in your Spirit Lisa...Thank you.
To Hunter, Lauren, and Todd...God Bless You...

My prayers are with the family in their time of reflection and prayer. May God bless and watch over you all the days, weeks , and years of your lives remembering all of the love, joy, and courage Lisa brought to so many children's lives.
