I will always remember Lisa as my Aunt, and as a loving friend. Despite the fact that we grew apart as our family changed, and as I grew older, she was always in my heart and will remain there. I promise to remind Lee and Alex that there mother was a compassionate, loving woman, who spared no expences when it came to the ones she loved. From the first time I met her she treated me like family. I have fond memories of riding around town in that white convertable, and going out for ice cream, and the time that she took me to get my nails done before my senior prom. She was always there for me, she gave me so much love and inspiration. I only hope to do the same for my cousins as they face life without their mother.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. She will be missed

To Cheryl Senese and Lisa's family;

Hi, this is Bob who used to work for American Airlines at O'Hare. I was so stunned and saddened to find out about Lisa's passing. I first met her in 1988, and she was always a nice and sweet lady, and I know she is with God now. Would any of Lisa's or Cheryl's friends (Or Cheryl) who know me please e-mail me ([email protected]) when you can. Again, I'm so sorry, and praying for all of you.

Bob
