I first met Lisa in Jr. High and we became very close (I was one of the 6 Musketeers that Nancy mentioned). Lisa was a year older and I thought she was so cool. I really looked up to her. She was kind, thoughtful, and smart. I was so impressed when she went away to art school. She inspired me in my own pursuit to become an artist. I'm sorry I didn't see her more in our adult lives. She was a very special person who will be missed. My heart goes out to her family and friends.

Lisa was one of my best friends. We first became friends in Jr High and remained close into adulthood. We were in a group of girls that were extremely close and referred to ourselves the 6 Musketeers.Some of my fondest memories are from those days. Lisa was a very sweet fun loving girl. We enjoyed years of sleep overs,concerts, camping and hiking,following her brothers around, and just hanging out. Life eventually took us on different paths. Lisa had many hardships in her adult life. She was blessed with a wonderful family who was there for her when she was alone in the world.I know that Lisa is at peace now. I thank her for enriching my life.
Boykin and Adam my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during this difficult time. I know it has been a tough year for you all. Let us all remember the many good times. Lisa loved you both very much.

Lisa was one of the most interesting, articulate, kind, and talented people I'll ever know. She was a wonderful person and friend.
In addition, I thought it important to point out that Lisa won a scholarship to attend Berkeley in 1984. Because, every color she splashed upon a canvas turned into something magical. Her work wasn't the work of an average bear. Lisa was special-
She loved her family, friends, art, books, music, and having a good time.
I love you~

Lisa also won a scholarship to study at Berkley in 1983 or '84, I'm confused about which year. In any event, Lisa had many talents, but when it came to painting she surpassed the average bear.
I will miss her greatly...she taught me so much about life, friendship, love, and fun!
God speed, LiLi

I knew Lisa through school at Lee High and liked her a great deal. She was a super sweet person and I'm sorry we didn't stay in touch through the years. My sympathies go out to her family and friends, and I plan a contribution in her memory to the Capital Area Animal Welfare Society.
