Fondly remembering Lisa, her smile and her kind soul! She adopted some kittens from me decades ago and I never encountered anyone so excited for kittens! Any yes - more than one! She would send me pictures of them as they grew. What a treasure to this world she was! My condolences to her family and thank you God for letting us all experience some time with Lisa.
