Lisa and I were in Jr High together. I remember her sweet outgoing personality in school. Later in life we really reconnected at the laundry where I work. We started visiting and going to lunch about once a month I will forever cherish the times we would laugh til tears flowed. She was an amazing and wonderful blessing in my life RIP My precious friend

Lisa was unique and so special. She and I met during a tour of the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells back in 2002 and became immediate friends as a result. She helped me see the world in a new way, and I will never forget her sense of humor and willingness to be there for any one of her friends who needed her in a crisis. I will miss her so very much!

I was so sad to see this in the paper. I went to High School with Lisa and ran into her a few years ago as she worked with my nephew. I have thought of her often lately so was quite shocked. I am sorry for your loss. She is in my thoughts and prayers.

In Loving Memory of Lisa...

I will forever treasure the memories with my cousin Lisa – especially during Christmas time at our grandparent's home. She was a joy to be with and always had a smile for everyone – a “ray of sunshine”.
