I remember Mrs. Day from my work at the original Butler Plaza Publix in (a very long time ago). 89-90. The green polyester. Closing with no heat during snow in Gainesville. Wow, those wee some days.

I ran into Mrs. Day in Sears after our Publix days. She was a very sweet person. May the family be at peace during this time.

We never had the privilege of knowing Ms Lisa. However, we have the joy of knowing and being friends and neighbors to her son Will, his wife Samantha and their beautiful son Emerson. In reading the other tributes, it’s easy to see the attributes she passed to her son. We send our love and prayers to the entire family. Ms Lisa Is now with the Lord and her body is whole.

I first met Lisa at my 26th birthday party. We became immediate friends and she has been one of my closest friends since then. Many wonderful memories of her, we had a lot of fun together and shared much of life even though we weren´t always close in location, we were close in heart. I loved her very much, I have dearly missed her and I´m thankful she is with the Lord now.
