To my beloved sister and best friend with all my love. You are the very best sister in this world and I am going to miss you so much forever until we see each other again. You should be proud of Jessica "Goofball" and Bailey. They are as strong as you and will be strong forever because of their mom - you, Lisa. I am blessed that I talked to you for an hour on Thanksgiving. I am going to miss our almost daily talks which always concluded with saying to each other, I love you. Jessica and Bailey, I will always love you. Protect you. Lisa, Jessica and Bailey are the greatest niece and nephew I could have because of you. If I had had any children, I would have them be exactly like Jessica and Bailey. Joe, thank you for telling me I could call you and Bailey anytime. Greg, thank you for telling me I could call Jessica anytime. Kari, I am now fortunate to have met you. Greg, thank you for saying Jessica could come and visit me anytime. That means so much to me.

All my love and cherished memories, Lisa,

Your oldest sister, Janis

Mom and dad are cradling you in their arms now, with God. I love you.

As I think about Lisa, it saddens me that I won't ever get to hear her laugh or see her look at her 2 beautiful children with open and total adoration. The times we spend catching up during my 2 year stay in New Orleans were so wonderful, it was as if we had never lost touch.



Jessica and Bailey - I hope you know how deep your mom's love was. You were her pride and joy, and what kept her going through the hard times. You were her angels on Earth. It is now her turn to be your angel.



I will miss Lisa's fierce loyalty, her never-ending thoughtfulness and the zest for life she had. Each time I knit, I will always be reminded of my special teacher and hear her laugh.



Lisa - I miss you already and know you are watching over us. Love always - Erin

To Lisa's Family,

I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Lisa was a wonderful person, and although it has been many years since we have spoken, she is a big part of my earliest memories, from our first day of kindergarten, birthday parties, neighborhood kick-the-can games, high school, to our days in Northfield. I know that much time has passed, and Lisa has accomplished much since our days on Marguerite Ave., but she will always be my classmate and neighbor. Please accept my sympathy.

Lisa and I were very best friends in about 1970 til 1980 when my family moved from Marshall, we both lived in Eatros addition we spent many many hours with each other we both had paper routes and good ole Schwinn bikes!! Life was wonderful growing up in Marshall and I think of it often. I regret not trying harder to stay in touch with Lisa, When I think of Lisa I remember all her pets "Felipi" her poodle and "King" (I think) the German Shepard and the birds that were put to rest in the shoe box in the back yard. Lisa was a very strong and supportive friend to me, her heart was as big as anyones and she even taught me to drive a car!! I think that was in 5th or 6th grade!! (her parents station wagon) I remember sleep overs at her house and she would wear a stocking cap to straiten those beautiful curls that I would have loved to have had!! I could go on and on !! I really Loved Lisa and will think of her often.. Thinking of you, Patti Nelson-Robinson 2068 150th Lawton Ia 51030
