Dear DiCenzo Family,
It comes with great sadness and shock to hear about Lisa's passing away. I went to St. Mike's with Lisa and remember her "larger than life" personality. She was so much fun to be around! I remember playing together in the lunch-time volleyball and kick ball games at St. Mikes...we were both very competitive! As we entered high school, we drifted apart. I have wonderful memories of Lisa and I growing up together. You must be heart broken. I am so sorry for your family's loss. May Lisa's memories stay close in your heart.

Mrs. DiCenzo and family-
So sorry to hear about Lisa. May you find comfort in your memories of her.
We started making memories in first grade. My favorite memories are walking home from St. Michael's harmonizing the latest song we learned in choir. And in high school, still harmonizing to latest albums.
Rest In Peace, Toots.
