Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered—
how fleeting my life is.
You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.
My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
at best, each of us is but a breath.

I didn't know Lisa personally, but I always sat close to her and her sister at the Softball games during the Summer. I was shocked to learn of her untimely death. My thoughts and prayers are w/the family.

To Lisa's family, I have not been able to write in her guest book until today. I know you know how much I loved her and how dear she was and always will be to me. I have realized a lot in the past week and one of the greatest things has been it doesn't matter what you say to someone who has lost a loved one. It's being there that means the most. I only bring that up because I used to be afraid that I'd say or do the wrong thing and that held me back from many things in life. I will no longer do that and I feel as though I've been given a gift which will last a lifetime. I am always here for each and every one of you any time and Lisa will always be in my heart. I love you all.

My Heart goes out to Lisa's family and Children. I met Lisa when we were teenager and have not seen her for a long time. I was stunned to see her Obiturary in Midwest Twisters. It shockes me to see someone so young taken from this world. I just want to say the she was a great person and from everything I read in this guest book she will be greatly missed. May God be with you at this time of sorrow and give you the strength to know that he will be taking care of this great person that will be missed by all who's lives she touched.

I was very sad to hear about Lisa. I knew her from when we were kids. I bowled with her and Laura in a Jr.'s league and we went to high school together. Then caught back up with her when Marissa and my daughter Kayla went to Midwest Twisters together. She was a wonderful person and will be missed by many. My prayers are with all of the family.

Lisa was the greatest friend to me and an inspiration. She was always there to lend an ear, and I learned so much from her. Her thoughtfulness, humor, strength, intelligence, and caring personality will be remembered. I know her kids, family, and friends meant everything to her. I will miss her so much. Marissa and Tyler, we are especially thinking of you. Zoey sends her sympathies. Our thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to you Ralph and Gloria, Laura and Jason, and all of her many family and friends, whom I've had the pleasure to meet through Lisa over the years.

To the family of Lisa Luedtke my deepest sympathy for your loss. I met Lisa through the Paralegal Association of Wisconsin. We became friends and kept in touch through the association. Lisa was a big promoter of Paralegal Day and would always contact me to get a copy of the governor's proclamation of Paralegal Day to have at her office. Lisa will be missed in many ways.

I can remember the first time I met Lisa on Menomonee Ave, where we each owned our first home and gave birth to our first child. I will truly miss you Lisa, you are a one of kind, gentle, kind, fun-loving girlfriend and truly a loving, caring mother, who put her children first. We will never forget you.

Mr.and Mrs.Luedtke,Laura and Jeff,
though we had lost touch years ago,I felt a sudden sadness and sense of loss when I heard about the terrible accident that took Lisa from all of us.Lisa and Laura were like sisters to me long ago.Jeff was like another one of my brothers.You were my surrogate family through my teen years.I never would have made it through some very difficult times if not for all of you. I have felt the loss of one sister in my life and that still stings. The pain lessens over time, but never goes away completely.Now, Lisa has been taken from us suddenly and there is pain that you and I will struggle through. You more than I, of course. You all were much closer to her than I, in recent years.That is something that I deeply regret. If you need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on,I am here.Please do not hesitate to contact me.God's strength be with you in your time of need.
Joe and Cheryl Jaszewski.

Dear Marissa & Tyler,
I worked with your mom at Extendicare and stayed in touch through baseball (I would see her at Tyler's tournaments). She was so very proud of both of you and her face would light up whenever I asked what you were up to. She loved you with all her heart. My sympathy to you both and your family.

My heart sank when I heard of Lisa's passing. Lisa was a dear childhood friend whom I've thought of many times over the years. I have many great memories of fun times we had (sleepovers, sledding, trick-or-treating as siamese twins, our trips to George Webb). Her family was always so nice and welcoming to me. My deepest sympathies to all of you. I will keep you all in my prayers.

I was fortunate to know Lisa in three of her roles in life. The first, and most important role, was that of a mother. Lisa enjoyed telling stories of her kids, being very dedicated to them. She was always willing to share advice based on her experiences in raising two wonderful kids. Her two children were the first priority in her life, and she always wanted to ensure they knew how much she loved and cared for them. The second role in which I knew Lisa was that of a business colleague during my ten years at Extendicare. Lisa took great pride in her work, and her quality was absolutely superb. "Luedtke quality" was at a level few others could reach. The third role in which I knew Lisa was as a social friend. Lisa excelled here too, because she had a great sense of humor, was very engaging, and could liven up any group. She was a fun person. Lisa will be missed by many, and those touched by her life have been blessed indeed. May her children always know that she will forever watch over them from heaven, where she is at peace.

We were so sorry to hear of the loss of Lisa. My husband and I met Lisa two years ago at a resort in Mexico along with her friend, Michell. We visited with Lisa and Michell around the pool and while dining throughout the week. We have stayed in touch over the past couple of years. We seen Lisa approximately a month ago and met her fiance, Bob, along with meeting with Michell and Sonny that day. Bob and Lisa were so very happy and talking about the impending wedding. How sad all of this is, especially for Bob, the four children involved, family and friends.
Lisa was a fun and just all around very special and beautiful person. She will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Our friend, or cousin, Lisa has been taken from us. She has given us such joy and love. Her great playfull attitude on her outlook on life, made everyones day brighter and more meaningful. For times of despair I will remember one of many of Lisa's quotes "Don't be a Richard". She always could see past the trouble and would reach for the happiness. To which Lisa brought much of to all who had the privalage of having her in their life. Lisa, I thank you for touching my family, you will be so saddly missed.For Marissa and Tyler we will pray for strength for you to get through this time of sadness, and the ability to accept the love from us and all the people who loved your mom, she truley was the best!

I am a former co-worker of Lisa's from Extendicare. To her family and friends, please accept my deepest sympathies in this untimely loss of someone so young and full of life. Besides her Lord, her deepest love was for her children. To Marissa and Tyler: Your mother's legacy to you is the memories she shared with you that you can cherish forever, and the many lessons she wanted you to learn as she raised you. Always remember how much she loved you, and that now she will watch over you from her new home in Heaven.
