I am so very sorry to all family & friends in this time of loss...my thoughts & prayers are with you all. Lisa had a lot of feistiness and spunk. In reading the obituary, I was very touched by the gift of life she left to others, in being an organ donor. What a blessing! My heart goes out to her children and fiancé, in particular...may God hold you all closely and overwhelm you with Love at this time. Sincerely,
Mona
