I heard from one of my friends that Lisa had passed away. My family grew up across the street from her family. Although we lost had lost touch many years ago I was shocked and saddened to hear of her death. I pray that God please help guide her family through this rough time and that wherever Lisa is her legacy and spirit are always remembered.

To have Lisa as my close friend was truly a gift from God. She was an angel while on this earth and she will always be our guardian angel watching over us. May she rest in peace knowing that she touched many many lives and we will never quite be the same without her. My heart goes out to all of Lisa's family, friends and especially Marty.

I believe Lisa was in my first grade class at Du Jardin School. It was my first year teaching 1st Grade. I will always remember Lisa with her bouncy pigtails and glasses. She had a zest for living even when she was six. My prayers and thoughts are with the family at this time.
