I can’t believe this much time has past since we lost Lisa. There are many days I catch myself and have to remember she’s not here with us. She would be so proud of what wonderful mothers her daughters have become. And so very proud of her granddaughters and grandson

Deepest sympathies to all of you. Last time I spoke with Lisa, she was so excited about her grandchildren. I enjoyed catching up with her and was inspired by her attitude toward her health issues. She was very positive and upbeat. She is with the Lord now, and will be with you in spirit forever. Rest in peace to a beautiful woman.

Dear Zurn Family,

I will always remember the fun that Lisa and I had at the Wolf Road barn with our horses...especially riding her beautiful mare named Lisa's Autumn Days. We had a great friendship growing up, and enjoyed many hilarious times together. Lisa is a lovely person and will be missed by all of us whose lives she touched.

Sometimes life's questions are only answered in one's own heart. I will remember Lisa in her prime when she always kept me on my toes. I learned several things from Lisa and will cherish those lessons. I know for a fact she loved her daughters very much. And was so proud of them both. I too share in that love. Having had Courtney and Sloane in my life sense their birth I feel as if they are my own daughters and will love and be there form them whenever and however I can.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
