A year. Can it be ? Yes, and it is still as un-believable and sudden. What a loss of such a beautiful person, in every sense of the word. We miss you Lisa, and allways will.

Our hearts are heavy as we try to absorb the passing of our great neighbor and friend. Every time we chatted or saw Lisa she always had a kind smile on her face. She was gracious and kind. She will be sorely missed. Our sincere condolences to Tyler and family.

Lisa's beautiful personality, knowledge of her job and how much everyone who worked with her were better at what they did because of her is an understatement. My last email to her (June 22) was "I owe you lunch"; the last time I saw her in person (June 6) we played bean bags; and the last thing she said to me in the phone (June 23) was "We'll take care of that bond release next week." Needless to say, I never got a chance to take her to lunch and we´ll never get to play bags again. But Lisa left me one last surprise, she had already taken care of that bond and left in in an envelope on her desk (she was so organized). It has been a hard couple of days. I will miss her tremendously - especially our talks in her office on Friday mornings. It's not enough to say she was an outstanding coworker because she was the oil that kept the City running, but she was also our friend. Rest in heaven
