LISA CLAY STYLES

Styles family: I've kept Lisa & her family in my prayers for the past 7 years & will forever. It seems tragedy strikes every family & extended family, I know this first hand. Stay firm in your faith and keep God first and He will walk with you thru life.

It has been well over a year now and the trial for the young man who tragically struck this beautiful young mother is underway. I wanted to read these memorials once again just to remind myself how precious life is. I also wanted to find a way to honor Lisa, her children, her family, her husband, her friends. Today, for no special reason I am keeping a candle lit for this family. To keep your alive in the hearts and minds of those that knew you, and to help me remember you. We never met. Maybe in heaven we will. You were a wonderful person Lisa Clay Styles. I hope that just saying your name invokes a smile or maybe just a nod... The manner of your passing while tragic isn't significant at all - after all it is not the manner in which we die that people will remember, but the manner in which we lived that will forever remain in our hearts. Live on, Lisa... Go with God, Be at Peace. Blessings Always to your family and friends.

STYLES/CLAY FAMILIES,

What a tragic accident. What a beautiful lady, and mother. My heart goes out to the entire family. May knowing that others care give you all a measure of comfort. When death reaches into a person’s family and snatches away a loved one, the shock of loss can be the severest emotional blow of of our lives. May God who see your tears and pain of heart give you the needed endurance just to go from one day to next. For God is with those who are broken at heart and those who are crushed in spirit He saves.He is healing the brokenhearted ones,
And is binding up their painful spots.

Dear Ellen & Family: Having lost so many in my immediate family, please know my prayers are with you, will always be with you. Junior

Since this tragic accident occured it is all that I have been able to think about. i didn't know Lisa, but she will now forever be in my heart, mind and prayers. Her life, although too short, has made an impact on me and hopefully others. May God bless you and take care of you in your time of grief.

We will keep Lisa in our prayers as we do for Carl. Our deepest sympathies to the Clay and Styles Families.

To the Styles / Clay families, Words cannot express how sad and meaningless Lisa's loss must be to you and your family. I remember Lisa in High School always having a smile on her face and being such a pleasure to be around. Humanly we cannot understand why a tragedy like this happens but God does have a plan in all things regardless of how we feel about it. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I am so sorry for your loss of a wife, mother and daughter. May you find peace and comfort during this time.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Although I didn't know Lisa, I graduated from the same high school. I truly believe that she died a hero to her husband and children. She will not be forgotten by those who loved her or those whose lives she touched. May the family find peace over the next weeks,months and years. From everything I have read, she was amazing and it is wonderful for the family to have those incredible memories of her. Again my thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Endless prayers are yours forever. May GOD ease your pain with the happy memories you have with your loved one. Lisa is now with her Lord in Heaven watching over her beloved family on Earth.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family and kids of Lisa Styles when she died it made my heart broken it was very sad she died . My prayers are with you very much

I sat at the accident site motionless, in tears. I could tell she was a Mom. I prayed. A senseless tragedy. I hold this family in my heart ...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathies to Brett and the children. I knew Lisa from her very short time as a Law Clerk in the City Of Pittsburgh Law Department. She was always smiling and was a very happy person.

I am still at a loss for words. May your families and friends find strength in each other. "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal." My deepest sympathies.

I have been thinking about your family and although I have never met any of you I offer my prayers and will hug my beautiful daughter a little closer to me from now on. May those children know the love of a mother that is now watching over them.

I knew Lisa as a girl. She was sunny, bright, and cheerful. As member of our girl scout troop, she was a delight. Lisa was a friend of my daughter, Tiffany, and often in our home. They shared many joyful times together. After all these many years, news of Lisa's happy life as a wife and mother is welcomed. But not her death, that is so very tragic. My heart goes out to Ellen, her mother, and her husband and children. I am so sad and so very sorry for your loss of Lisa. May God be with all Lisa's family in the days, months, and years to come.

A person is not judged by how much they love, rather than how much they are loved....(Wizard of Oz) Lisa was so loved, by her husband, her children, her parents, her in-laws everyone whose path she crossed in this short life. She truly was a special person whom I am happy to have met and struck up a friendship with. While I cannot imagine the family pain, I know that you each have wonderful memories of a woman who obviously made the most of every day! My deepest condolence to you all.

Please know that your family is in many prayers at this time. My heart is filled with love for you all. I believe that Lisa will continue to be the beautiful and strong spirit in your lives ~ now from heaven above. God bless.

I was horrified to hear of this tragedy, and was saddened even more when I realized that it had happened to Lisa.
When I think back to our high school days, I remember Lisa's bright smile and her friendly personality. She was a wonderful person, and has certainly led an amazing life since then.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Lisa's family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time...she will be deeply missed.

I did not know Mrs. Styles or any of the family but I am truly sorry for your loss. I will pray for her soul.

Your family is in my prayers.

I have never been so deeply saddened by the loss of someone I never knew. While my heart aches for Lisa's family, I am comforted to know that her children have a beautiful angel to watch over them. May your memories of Lisa bring you comfort in the days to come.

Ever since this happened, it has haunted me. May God hold you all to help ease the pain. So, so sorry. A mom and grandmother.

Brett...Stay strong for Lisa and your three beautiful children...GOD BLESS...

A stranger

I am so sorry that this had to happen to your loved one. May she rest eternally in the arms of the Father and may her family find strength and comfort in the same Father.

Ellen,Carl,Lisa and Kevin Clay were our neighbors on Longmount Drive in Franklin Park and we send our thoughts and prayers to you all. It has been many years since we have seen Lisa, but the memory of a lovely young lady with a bright cheery personality remains in our thoughts. Our sincerest condolences.

I, and so many others, cannot stop thinking of Lisa and her family. I am so sorry to hear of your loss, she was a wonderful mother. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family on a daily basis, I wish I had the opportunity in this life to have met her. take care and God Bless!!!!

While we did not know Lisa, we are saddened by this senseless tragedy. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort all who knew Lisa now and in the days ahead.

To know her was to love her...I'll miss you, Lisa, and have fond memories of our time in Hong Kong, traveling, and the bay area. My thoughts are with the Clay and Styles families.

I knew Lisa back in middle school through her brother Kevin. She was sweet even back then. My deepest sympathies to Kevin, Ellen, and the rest of Lisa's family.

I pray that God will allow you to feel Lisa's prescence with you here on Earth until you meet in eternity. May God give you strength to carry on.

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart aches for Lisa's husband and children. Your loss has inspired me to live my life to the fullest. I'm also making an effort to drive more carefully. I hope you find peace.

I graduated from NA with Lisa and remember her well as such a grounded, genuine person always wearing a smile. I live in Illinois and learned about this tragedy from my mother. The Clay and Styles families are in my thoughts. As a mother, I know that the love for the kids will pull the families through this sorrowful time.

I did not know Lisa, but I was very sad to hear of this tragic incident. I took this to heart also being a mother of 3... boys ages 12, 6, & 13 months. About 1 1/2 weeks ago I just started using a jogging stroller at the university track where I live, & I bring my other two kids to run or walk on the track with me as well. I'm sure Lisa felt as |I do..so happy they invented something that I can bring my baby with me because if I run without them, I know they miss me & feel terrible, & miss any time away from them as well. It makes me feel like a good mom keeping my children involved in the activities I do. I love running with my little guy smiling & staring back at me. She had those kids there because she loved them & was a wonderful mother. Those strollers even make running a little harder, I can't imagine 2 kids in 1, but it is worth it to have our kids with us. We'll make anything work to be a good mom. We are willing to do it because we love them so much. My uncle passed away at 49 & was shocked back 2 life..he saw his mom & grandma in Heaven & let us know during the small time period he came back before passing. This gave me so much faith. You will see Lisa again,I just know it. She will have to jam to Michael Jackson's music (also a tragic loss) & wait for you guys, but I know she will. I don't understand why this happens to nice people, when some jerks live to be 90 & they never experience anything like this their whole life. For some reason God must have needed a special angel for the babies in heaven.I am so sorry for your loss, please keep faith, & share all your memories with your children. God Bless-Jackie

We never introduced ourselves, but I would frequently run into Lisa at the doctors office, with our children. She was simply beautiful, and obviously a wonderful mother. Like so many others, my constant thoughts and prayers are with her husband and those adorable children. Every day is a blessing, thank you Lisa, for inspiring all of us.

I was an English major at Tufts a year behind Lisa. I recognized her picture as soon as I saw it. God bless you all. I am so sorry for your loss, and we are praying for your entire family.

I, like so many others, cannot stop thinking about Lisa and her family. My thoughts, constant prayers and my very deepest sympathy for this tragic loss. May God Bless and keep you all.

I am very sorry to hear about Lisa's tragic end. She did not deserve this. As a law school classmate of hers, I remember her being such a positive, active person, with a smile on her fact during even the worst times - finals and the bar exam. Reading her obituary today made me realize that her life was truly just getting underway. We are sorry for your loss.

I feel like have known Lisa for years, yet we have never met. We both belonged to the strongest union ever designed and that is the "motherhood union" She is now in the hands of God and His angels. We will pray for the living and hope that something like this never happens again. May God be with you.

This is beyond heart breaking. I live near mt lebanon and have been praying for Lisa and her loved ones since the day this happened. May God comfort her family & friends through this difficult time.

Like many others on here, I do not know your family, but have cried about your loss. I hate to see anything about young children losing a parent. I will keep your entire family in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry.

I live in New Jersey and did not know Lisa. But Pittsburgh is my hometown. I cannot even fathom the sorrow that her family is feeling. I will ask God for all his blessings, that he shower you with all his love.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. The entire Pittsburgh community is mourning your loss. As I’ve watched this story, it is so apparent what an amazing mother Lisa was. And I pray that your children will be able to hold those memories in their hearts forever. We are thinking of you and praying for your family. May God give you the strength to get through this difficult time.

I have no words for the loss of this strong and beautiful woman. I did not know her, but she was an angel on this earth. I cry when I even think about her, her kids and her wonderful husband. With her death, as in her life, she has generated so much love and kindness. I wish I had known you, Lisa.

Dear Styles Family,
I am also a mother of a 5 year old and a 3 month old. We were watching the news when this horrible tragedy occured. My 5 year old was so distraught, she said mommy, we have to pray for this Mommy and her children.
From reading and following the news, since this has happened we have prayed daily. She seemed very courageous and wonderful hero to her children. I am sure that is how they will remember their mommy.

Please accept my deepest condolences.
It may not seem like it, but God has a bigger plan for your dear wife and your children's mommy. You will all have a special Guardian Angel always watching over you.

Stacy

God bless your family with peace and wonderful memories of a very caring and loving person.

I was so saddened to hear of this tragedy. May our Father in Heaven hold you and your children close and give you comfort.

Lisa, Your light will still shine on your beautiful children and husband with all those memories you created with them. Well done thy faithful servant.

My heart goes out to you and your family. May God be near you in this time of need

As a mother and practicing attorney, I have identified with the life Lisa is described to have lived. Although I did not know her personally, I have been deeply affected by her story. I wish Brett and the children the best in the future. I'm sure such a good and loving mother would want them to go on loving each other in her spirit. You are in my thoughts.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family during this most difficult time. We will pray to God to give you the strength in the days, weeks, months and years ahead. Our hearts were broken for your loss and are so sorry for this tragedy. We never met Lisa and yet she has touched our lives. May she rest in peace.

An unfortunate and tragic end to a brilliant star. May Brett and his children find peace and strength during this impossible time.

It's amazing that one could be so affected by the death of someone they never knew. I am so very sorry for your family's loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of Lisa's family and friends. Please know that her children now have a beautiful guardian angel watching over them. Her spirit will always live within their hearts.

God bless. May he help you find peace. You are in my prayers.
Such a senseless tragedy.

As a father and husband, I cannot imagine life for my two young daughters without their mother, and mine without my wife. This is such a sad tradegy. My thoughts and prayers are with Brett and his children.

God Bless your family! Lisa seems to have brought unity and awareness in a community even in this tragic situation. She was obviously something special!

May Gob bless you and your family in this devastating time. My hearts and prayers go out to you and your children. The memories you have will be hard to even think about for a while but eventually you will remember and be able to smile.

My heart breaks for Brett, who won't have his wife there with him to witness their beautiful children grow. My heart breaks for those three children whose mother was taken away from them so senselessly, recklessly and tragically. The Styles family will forever be in my prayers and thoughts.

May the angels greet Lisa into her heavenly home and may God give you strength and peace in the days ahead. May your memories give you comfort. God bless your entire family.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Lisa, however, I am so saddened by this tragedy. Everything that I have read about her it sounds like she was a wonderful human being - such a great loss to her husband, children, and entire family and friends...my heart and prayers go out to everyone that was ever fortunate enough to know her.

To all Lisa's family and friends...you are in my thoughts and prayers. Such a terrible loss.

May God keep the family of Lisa Clay in his hands during this time. Lisa and I were law school classmates. We clerked together our second year while she was pregnant and I will always remember how excited and happy she was to be a mommy!!!

Please accept our deepest sympathies. May your many wonderful memories carry you through this difficult time.

What a senseless tragedy. Although I am a stranger, I am a fellow Mother and my heart and prayers go out to Lisa's husband and children. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I wish you peace.

This tragedy breaks my heart. So incredibly sad these 3 little children lost their mother. God be with them, her husband, family, and friends.

My son, JP, is a classmate of June at Montessori. Every night since the news of this horrible story, we have said a special prayer for you and your family. You will remain in our prayers. Our deepest sympathy.

We are so sorry to hear about Lisa's tragic accident. The Styles family and the Clay family will be in our prayers daily. God bless you all.

I would just like to express my deepest sypmathy for this family. Although I do not know any of you personally, as a young mother myself, this story saddens me greatly. I hope you all continue on with your lives and let Lisa live on by continuing to grow and do things you know would make her proud. This is such a tragedy and such a shame that Pittsburgh has lost an amazing woman and wonderful Mom. There is a sorrow in this city from the loss that reaches even people who did not know her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God give you peace and strength in your time of need.

Dearest Ellen,

You and your family are in my prayers. May God bless and keep you during this time of sorrow.

From reading her obituary, it sounds so like she led a beautiful fulfilling life. So sorry that her life was cut so short, but her legacy is in the love she so fully gave to her life and family. May God bless you all and wrap your hearts with her undying love.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

I will hug my children a little tighter and always be reminded that life is precious because of Lisa.

May God watch over your family during this most difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss - your family is in my prayers.

Beyond heartbreaking. Brett I never met Lisa but only know of her because I am a fellow mom of a child on the spectrum. Somehow, someway you will get through this horrible pain. Why, why why? Thank God the children were unhurt ... they will give you a reason to carry on with such a heavy heart.

I have been haunted by this senseless tragedy since it happened. Although I didn't know Lisa or her family my heart is aching for all of you. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

May God hold your family in his hands and guide you through your sorrow. I am so sorry for you loss - your family is in my prayers.

Our families deepest sympathy to your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. May God be with all of you.

I was fortunate enough to have had Lisa and June in my classes at Gymboree in Mt. Lebanon. They always came in with the warmest smiles on their faces. They laughed and played with a sincere joy and were a delight to have in the classroom. I recall how happy Lisa was when Nate was big enough to join them in his baby sling.
I heard of Lisa's passing this morning, and cannot begin to express the sorrow I feel, Styles Family, for the loss of your dear wife and mother. My thoughts are with you all.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I can not stop thinking about Nate's face and how it would light up when his mommy would walk into the preschool room. To Nate, your sisters, your daddy and your family- May the light that shines down on you from heaven guide you through this horrible time.
-The Robbins Family

Dear Lisa,

I have spent the last few days with your beautiful children and with Brett, Ellen and Kevin. Brett misses you terribly and breaks down every time he looks at the picture from your engagement trip. I always knew he loved you with all of his heart, but I did not comprehend how much until now. I have seen a special side of him that has really touched me. Kevin is the most honorable and gentle brother a sister could wish for, and Megan is beyond lovely. While no one could ever possibly take your place, Ellen and Brett are in amazing hands with Kevin and Megan, as well as Erik, Julie and Devon.

As for the munchkins, June has demanded afternoon kindergarten. She is hoping to lounge in the mornings; after all, with her style, it takes a while to choose an outfit. Although we don't know if 5 year olds are permitted to drop classes, Brett is just hoping June doesn't drop kindergarten. Nate and Evelyn are loved and cared for. Nate tried to eat a container of sour cream today, but I apparently have developed enough parental instincts in three days to stop him. Evelyn continues to love deli meat and is talking about training for the 2027 Olympics.

As for me, my heart hurts in a way it has never hurt it before. But you will live on in my heart and soul. I will fight for your children and your causes always.

I would not be the person I am today if I was not blessed to have you in my life. I hope you knew that.

I love you L-train.

More hugs and kisses than I could ever give,
Brigit (that's B-dog to you).

You and your family are in my heart. I will continue to pray for you all. May God hold you in the palm of His hand as you make your way through the coming days and years.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Nothing anyone can say or do can diminish the pain you all must feel. Please know that so many people have been touched by this horrific accident and share the loss of a beautiful, young, vital woman who obviously was a phenomenal mother and wife. How sad that her 3 little angels will not have their mother here but she will always be an unseen angel to them. God bless you all.

I didn't know Lisa. When I heard of her passing I cried for her children and family. The loss they are experiencing is too tragic for words. I think of her often and hope that the family can somehow find the strength to continue on. From what I am hearing, she was a terrific mom and those little angles of hers are going to need all the strength the family can give. I am so sorry for your loss. I will pray for all of you and for Lisa to find peace.

Brett - I am so very sorry for your loss. I wasn't fortunate enough to ever meet Lisa, but I was so moved reading about her life. She sounded like a wonderful mother and an amazing person. My deepest sympathies for you, your family and everyone that was close to Lisa.

My daughter works at the Panera in the Galleria and was horrified when she saw the picture of Lisa on the evening news. She told me with a smile on her face about the days that she saw Lisa at Panera with her kids and how she was such a friendly loving person and how cute the kids were. She also had seen Lisa one day running with the kids in the stroller and beeped and waved to her.

God bless your family. I hope that in some small way knowing that Lisa touched the hearts of so many brings some comfort to you all.

May God be with you in your time of need.

Your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers. As a mother of a 2y/o I just can not fathom the loss your children and entire family are suffering through. God bless you all and may Lisa watch over you from above.

I am a St. Paul's member and have 3 children of the same age. Your church family is here for you and your family. We will not forget this horrific tragedy. My heart is broken for your family. A friend of mine was also widowed with young children and found the caring place helpful. God bless your family.

My heart aches for all of you.

May God be with you and my prayers are with you and your family. It would seem that she was an amazing wife, mother and friend. God has another angel in heaven

We are so very sorry to hear of Lisa's death. My husband and I lived next door to Brett and Lisa for five years before we moved last year. Lisa was an amazing person and mother. She was so hands on with her children. Whether it was playing in the hose, building snowmen, or just laughing and giggling the day away, she was there being a caring and loving mom every day. This is awful on so many levels. We will continue to keep Brett, the children and Lisa's friends and family in our prayers.

Tracy and Rich Phillips and family

While I did not know Lisa, I am so saddened by this senseless tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with the Styles family. Just from reading Lisa's obituary, it is evident that she was an amazing woman, wife, and mother. Heaven just became an even better place.

My prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It sounds like she was an amazing woman. May God give you the strength to get through this difficult time.
