Like Stephanie Biggs, I just found out about Lisa's passing. I was in Lisa's wedding so many years ago and, before the age of emails, we lost touch with each other as I moved to Florida and Arizona. I've been thinking about her a lot over the past few years now that I'm back in Ohio and finally got around to looking for her on the internet when I found the sad news. She was such a fun person. Such a delight to be around. While I never got to know her children, I can only assume they are the better for having such a wonderful person in their lives. I will always remember her wonderful smile and sense of humor.

I just now discovered that the world has lost our "Tiny Dancer". I was a friend of Lisa's at Stephens College where we were in the same dorm. We went on spring break to Florida together & shared an important time of our lives. She was always a beautiful person inside & out. I will never forget her, "tiny dancer".

My condolences to the Greiner and Sheaf families. I was shocked and saddened to hear of Lisa's passing. She will be missed by her loved ones here but will be with her family in heaven. Know that you will see her again in time.

Your family has my condolences at the loss of Lisa. I knew Lisa as a young lady and she and I danced at the same studio in Zanesville. We also spent time together at the Miss SEO pageant "back in the day". I will say special prayers for you during these sad holiday times. She was a delight to know back then and I'm sure her presence will continue in her children. God Bless. Tina White
