Memories and Condolences

Lisa, I think of you often. I think of how so very brave you were. I'm dealing with Parkinson's- evert time that I start feeling sorry for myself, all I have to do is think of you. I can't imagine getting diagnosis of ALS, and knowing what a battle, a losing battle, that was ahead of you. What I do know - from the depth of my heart and soul, with 100% certainty, is that you, and ONLY YOU, could handle ALS. Lisa, nothing ever came easily for you, but you learned at such an early age, how to claw and fight for EVERY and ANYTHING that you felt strongly about. You would fight a battle, knowing that you had a 1% of winning, but you were so determined to fight for what you believed in. I always admired your strength, your grit. Even when your stubbornness landed you in trouble, you NEVER ,ever wanted anyone to feel sorry for you. And you would never admit to being wrong about anything! I will say, that there were, maybe 2 times, that I witnessed your graciousness, in defeat. I loved your entire family so much and envied you in so many ways. You had the most awesome bedroom/ suite that I had ever seen- it was truley a room fit for a Queen! Remember that fabulous window seat, with all of those shelves that were filled with wonderful treasures? And those 2 huge walk- in closets, filled with the most beautiful clothes, as well as dress up clothes that I had ever seen? You even had a beautiful, antique make - up desk! And, I'll never forget the beautifully framed, antique christening gowns, complete with the matching caps that hung in your bedroom- I believe , if memory serves me corre6, that they were mounted on a rich, burgundy colored velvet. I even remember the stuffed, gray rocking elephant that sat in the corner of you bedroom, next to the closet that we would hide in! But what sticks out in my mind the most is that you wanted to share anything and everything! You would ask me which bed I wanted to sleep in. You never, not even ONCE bragged about all of the fabulous things that you had, I give Ed and Shirley all of the credit for that- they instilled in all 3 of you the importance of kindness, which you picked up on from the day you were born! I will never forget when your parents purchased that fantastic gingerbread playhouse, I think it was an auction item at a junior league function. Again, you always offered it up for everyone to enjoy! But, looking back, I think that you were fighting something deep inside of you that you didn't quite understand and enable to talk about. As we grew older, I think that your curiosity landed you in lots of trouble, more than once! It was like you thrived on seeing just how far you could go without being caught. I loved Barbies, they were all that I wanted to play with. You had absolutely no interest in dolls, you'd much rather sneak into the alley, behind your house, and look for something interesting, like a treasure hunt! Thank you, Lisa, for being a true friend. I hope that you're at peace now. I wouldn't be surprised at all if you are still fighting for what you believe in, even in heaven!

Words cannot express how I feel right now, my heart heavy, my eyes filled with tears. I only knew Lisa for a little while, but it seemed like a life time. To the family, look to the hills from whence your help comes. Lisa will be greatly missed. I loved Lisa just like a big sister and Lisa loved me (Jackie) like a little sister. Rest my beautiful sister, no more pain, no more suffering. U will always be in my heart.

My prayers and thoughts are with Lisa's family. Lisa became a friend when she met and dated my son. She was very supportive to him when his dad died and sat with us at his funeral. Lisa will always be an angel to me and I pray she is walking with the angels now, and maybe playing a little golf with Wayne. (She will know who that is). God bless you Lisa. You were truly a sweet heart of a person.
