Lisa was an amazing person who knew how to love unconditionally and did so as is manifested by the many heartbroken family and friends who have supported us and grieve with us through this tragic time. As we struggle with the great loss of no longer having her here on Earth, we are truly comforted to know that though she always lived a wonderful, happy life; the last few years of her life were her happiest and for that we are overjoyed.
