Hey my Lee!! it´s been 19 years since you went home to our father and you are definitely missed. Your boys have turned into wonderful young men and I know you are super proud of them! The going on in this world right now is so upsetting and we pray it improves for our young people. On your special day God is putting on a special show for everyone with an eclipse happening. It´s cloudy and rainy here so we can´t experience it but many others are celebrating this experience. Lisa we miss you sooo much and think about you often. Please continue to watch over our babies. Until we meet again... love you . Lynda

Lee,

It has been 4 years from today,when your fate we could not sway.
God saw you getting tired,And a cure was not to be.So he put his arms around you,And whispered, "Come to me."
With tearful eyes we watched you drift.We watched you fall away.
We couldn't bear to lose you.We couldn't ask you to stay.
A golden heart stopped beating.Shining eyes at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove us that he only takes the best.
We miss you more and more each passing day, but the memories we have with you are always here to stay.

We love and miss you boo!!

Hey Lisa,
Think of you every day, see Lil' Jim a lot, can not express what a great kid he is. I know you must be so proud of him, I am. I tell him quite often how much you would be proud of him for his school accomplishments and how responsible he is in so many ways. He is growing up to be the young man you worked so hard for him to be. It was all worth it, in your short time you had here with us it seems you did so much and affected so many, most of all your children. I still have not seen Josh yet, but one day I'm sure he'll find one of us, I can't wait for that day when I will be able to tell him what I know about you. Anyway, miss you much.

Happy Easter, Lee,



Time heals all wounds-that's what I've always heard. It's been a year and it seems as unreal today as on day one. The only thing that helps is knowing that you now know how many people loved you, then, now and forever. And the hope of seeing you again some day. Your smile alone was always proof God existed.

God bless Mike, Jimmy, and your boys.

Love and miss you.

Happy Easter neighor,



You were so missed yesterday at Lynda & PJ's annual party. Josh remembered that I am his girlfriend, I got several kisses and hugs. Lee he looks so much like you, it is unbeleivable. I just finished home health, and Mike has been a total prince the way he checks on me. Jimmy also had a great time, playing with all the kids, He spent the night last w/e.

Just wanted to say hello and that I will always love and miss you.

Hello Buddy,

It has taken me sometime to write again, but I can hear you everyday in my head.....You know i sometimes imagine you as a little angel sitting on my shoulder whispering in my ear. I don't think we have ever talked this much before hahahahaa. Thank you for helping me through the days, the months, this very tough year.

As you know lil Jimmie is doing fine... he needs to hear and feel you right now more than ever--he's being a typical pre-teen. He's a good boy and I pray he knows that you are with him always in his heart and his soul. and as long as he carries that with him he will continue to soar.

we all miss you like crazy, especially JimJim.

The Easter Bunny (vob) gave the boys baskets full of treats... I wish I could see Josh eating his chocolate--what a picture-- chocolate from head to toe.hahaaa-- he is so cute with those big blue eyes....

I reallllllly miss ya pal.

continue to watch over us girl... we need your heavnly eye upon us.

hugs and kisses

Well today makes the one year anniversary since you physically left us to join Jesus and become one of his angels.I love and miss you like crazy.



Just yesterday Shannon and I were talking, and w/o a moments thought I just said "Ask Lisa she will tell you". She looked at me stunned for a moment and said " I will ask her when I get up there and see her. I guess after a year (even though I miss and think of you everyday", I still can't acknowledge you are really gone. Love you always and forever.

donna beard

March 22, 2006

Thinking about as always, but especially today on your anniversary. I will never forget how for an hour you just kept hugging me and intermitantly showing me your left ring ringer so happy and excited saying "I am married, I am so happy". Yes you were, I never seen anyone so happy.



Then yall left for the hotel in town. How you had a honeymoon I will never know, with you calling me every 10 minutes. But that was okay, I was basteing in your happiness with you. Please look down on Mike as I know you always do anyways, but give him a wonderful sign. This has been a really hard month on all of me, so I can only imsgine how hard it has been on him.



I think about you daily, heck beer has never lasted so long in my fridge. And it's getting old throwing away left overs. Although since you left me I can't bring myself to make your taco pie.



Love and miss you,

Donna

In June, I will be 82 years old and I can't understand why so many family members (younger than me) have left this world ahead of me. Your father(my son, 35 years old), Sandy(my daughter/your aunt, 36 years old) and you (32 years old, so young. In the case of your father and your aunt, it was not sudden and we knew why, but with you, it was different. We had no warning and really don't know why you left us. The hurt I feel will always be with me. I love you very much, sweetie.

It's been a year since the tragedy that took you from us and I just wanted to say that we miss you terribly..

There are times when I am driving to work and I look in my rear-view mirror and someone in the car behind me reminds me of you...I can feel you there for a moment..

Work has never been the same for us without you..When we pass your office we still expect to see you there behind your desk.

So many people tell me how they remember you and how kind you were to them and how they miss you.

God Bless you,

Love,

I know we all say prayers for Lisa all the time, but it would really mean alot to me if everyone says a prayer tommorrow (Saturday). I realize Lee officially left us on April 8th, but for all realistic

thinking she in my mind left us one year ago tommorrow. This is the one year anniversary (the day and image I would never forget) that Lisa collapsed. The time I ran across the street was at 7:15am, but the actual time was 6:55am so even though it is a w/e and most can sleep late it would be great if we could get a prayer chain going at that time. If not possible please just say a prayer anytime Saturday. Even souls that have left us still need prayers.



Thank you.

I thought everyone might like to see the image I added to the photo gallery. It's Lisa's favorite poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" (Robert Frost). It is on a notepad in her handwriting. I have maintained the thought that Lisa was just TOO gold, and God wanted her back. Throughout the Bible, God had favorites... Noah, Abraham, and so on. I would say that Lisa was added to God's "favorites", since He just had to take her from us so soon. I don't know how else to look at it.



I have not posted here much because I have still been nummed by her passing (as we all have), but so strangely, I couldn't bring myself to write [here] about her. But, last night I dreamed of Lisa for the first time. She was dressed in a white robe. All of her friends an family sat peacefully with her around a pool (where did that come from???). She distributed gifts, very personalized gifts, to everyone there, with a smile on her face (where did THAT come from??) She did not speak, but only smiled at everyone. It gave me a sense of peace...an old, yet NEW memory of her. Along with the poem I found, I thought I should also share this wonderful dream, in remembrance of her good heart, the way she had the ability to give, and remind us all to "take it easy" sometimes.

Hey Lee,

We just had a very bad hurricane " Katrina" It wiped out Chalmette and St Bernard area . The gulf coast isn't what we were use to seeing anymore. New Orleans needs to be rebuilt and Jefferson has a way to go to recover. I've had 5 familes living in our house with us. Jimmie and Lil Jim came here for the storm and stayed a couple of days. There back home and spent some time with the Stevens and Josh. I believe their back home with little damage. Thank God!!



Guess this is God's way of cleaning up and getting people to get back to the basics in life, Love one another and have peace.



Love ya Lee and Miss you,

MY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL, DEE

Lisa Bell,

I know you are up there watching over us and you can see Lil Jimmie being the very intelligent and strong youngman you raised him to be. You were a good mom, and it shows in lil Jimmie's behavior and mannarisms. He is a very "good" child.... He is shy but he has a heart of gold... The kids went to Six Flags-Astro world .... Brandon and Jimmy had a great time,. They spoke of you and they both laughed and smiled.... I think he enjoys remembering what fun you were and what good times you shared with him.... Lisa, Jimmie will be a wonderful man because you planted a great seed in him. Job well done my friend... He will carry your spirit of self proud and strenght with him everyday of his life.... Don't worry, he will help Josh to know your spirit as well... He loves his little brother so much.

Miss ya,My buddy, my pal,

Hi Lisa, Think about you every day...miss you every day...I have a special song that I hear everywhere I go that has become my song for you..You know how much I love music so I have songs that remind me of all who have passed in our family. It does my heart good when I'm in a store or in the car and that song comes on-so I stop and talk to you for a minute (it's as though the music connects us somehow-it's a good thing)then I say a prayer for Jim and Josh, wipe a tear or two away, and go on with my task at hand. I miss you much. Keep sending that beautiful music to me-I hear you loud and clear.

Hey neighbor,



Thought I would borrow your line. Yesterday was my birthday and it felt so weird you not racing to be the first to call and wish me happy birthday. Although you always had the advantage of waking up early with Josh and being able to look out your window to see my blinds open to know when I was awake.

Went to the church fair last weekend, and I got your message from the two prizes I won ; the beach bag and the sun visor. I know I have to now take the kids to the pool since you can't.

I love and miss you so much, keep sending me signs.



Love you

I read all the entries and, by the time I finished, the tears were flowing and I could barely see the words. I am Lisa's grandmother (Maw Maw) and I thought I knew how wonderful a young woman she was but

her friends (and she had many)

confirmed this. I know what obstacles she overcame (losing her father when she was very young was one of them). This didn't stop her from becoming a strong, dependable and successful person. My only solace is that she is with her Heavenly Father and is at peace. We're the ones who are left behind to miss and grieve for her. I don't understand why she had to leave us so young but we have to trust God that He knew what was best for her. I am grateful that I saw her four days before she went into a coma, and also got to see her before she left us. Lisa, you knew how much I loved you. I shall never forget you.



Love,

Lisa,

As days go by without you here, in my heart you remain, never fear. Not a day will go by I won't think of you, I promise to your memory I will remain true. Though I miss your sweet voice and beautiful smile, I can still hear you say "Luv Ya Nan, talk to you in a while". We loved, we laughed, we shared our deepest thoughts, but don't worry in spirit we can still have those little talks. As I read the pages of notes of love sent to you up above, my tears fall on the pages, you'll be remembered through the ages, spoken of forever. Our lips will tell your story of one who was taken so early, yet showed us all how we should live our lives, what a legacy you've left behind. I'll see you in your childrens' eyes, I'll see your spirit in them too. Your father, my brother, went before you and I saw his spirit in you. The circle will never be unbroken, Lisa, I'll see you both again one day. We'll walk together on paths of gold, no tears shed anymore. Until then I'll put you in my heart as I have all those who have gone before. I'll keep the memories of your life near and dear to me, so I might share them for all to see, my brother's beautiful loving girl, my niece, Lisa. I'll love you forever.

Hi, Lisa, it's me again. I'm crying after reading what Jimmy wrote. That poem was from our favorate movie when we were young- "The Outsiders". I reminisce of when we memorized that poem together in 6th grade at my house. Lisa, as Jimmy said, you are our gold, to be cherished 4ever. Now, you are walking on the streets of gold.

Our favorate line of the movie was, "Stay gold, Johnny, stay gold." I believe that's what Lisa would have said to her boys during her last moments. She would want them to stay pure in heart, honest, and true, like pure gold when it is tested in fire. In good times and bad, in both successful times and in the trials of life, Lisa would want her boys to stand firm and know who they are in God. She would want their hearts to stay pure, full of love and to know how loved they are by her, their dads, and their Father up in heaven.

Lisa, I am very sorry that we had lost touch the past 10 years. The last few times we saw each other, I held your little Jimmy, and you and big Jimmy held my little Josiah. Well, 10 years have passed, and they're not so little anymore. I'm sure if we hadn't lived so many miles away, our boys would have been best of friends like we once were as kids. Please forgive me for getting so busy. I guess I always thought that things would slow down and we would catch up with one another one day. Too bad it wont be here on earth. I guess it's a lesson for all of us to learn.

I've found some childhood pictures of you that I would like to one day share with your children.

Lisa, you will always live on in so many hearts. You will stay gold in my heart for eternity.

As we wrote in our letters when we were kids,

Love,

Holly, B-F-F (best friends 4ever)

Good-bye 4 now, but not 4-ever.

Lisa you will be missed dearly You were a really great friend to my mother Dee. My mom loved and treasured the friendship you guys shared. I know we are very close in age and that makes me think you should live life to the fullest and keep family and friend close to you and always let people know you love them very much. I thank GOD you were in our lives and you touched them deeply. Rest in peace. And watch over us from above. Love Always

Rest in PEACE my FRIEND LISA! I miss you so much, but God knows best. You were truly an inspiration to anyone who knew you. You never took anything for granted, and that made you have a giving heart. You helped anyone you came across without ever expecting anything in return. You always have, and always will hold a special place in my heart!! God Bless you Mike, Lil Jimmie, Joshua, and Ms Sandy. There are no words to express the void feeling we are all living in right now. But, it will pass because when one door closes another opens.....we just have to be strong enough while we wait for the next door to open, and it will because even if it is hard to see now, God does not give us more than we can handle!!



Love Ya Lisa,

THIS IS ONE OF THE THREE EULOGIES SPOKEN AT THE FUNERAL FOR LISA BY JIM GAUTHIER:

I'm speaking on behalf of all of Lisa's friends. Lisa was very giving, wanting nothing in return. All of her friends were part of Lisa's roads she traveled. Some of Lisa's friends would like me to share these quotes from their hearts: "Lisa was a friend of friends and had many, all of whom will miss her tremendously". "Lisa loved beaches, sunrises, and picnics." "She was totally real, and not afraid to speak her mind." "Some friends share presents, but Lisa shared her heart with her friends." "Some friends only heart to heart." "Her spirit touched everyone she met, and it will continue to do that through her children." "To a friends house the road is never long...you just gotta travel the road."



I have personally known Lisa for many years. Jimmie and I will miss her immensely. I know Jim's brother Joshua will miss her too, as will her husband Mike. Lisa was a true friend I will never forget. She will be my son's guardian Angel. Lisa's favorite poem was written by Robert Frost. Here's how it goes:



NATURE'S FIRST GREEN IS GOLD

HER HARDEST HUE TO HOLD

HER EARLY LEAF IS A FLOWER

BUT ONLY SO AN HOUR

THEN LEAF SUBSIDES TO LEAF

SO EDEN SANK TO GRIEF

SO DAWN GOES DOWN TO DAY

NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY



Lisa was most definately OUR GOLD............

Lisa was a true gift of life to us all! My thought's and prayer's are with Lisa's entire family. Just Why

Have you ever in life's trials Asked the age-old question, "Why?"

Has your laughter turned to sighing

When good fortune passed you by?

Have your tears run like a fountain in the stillness of the night,When your heart was filled with sorrow And you yearned for morning light? Many questions stay unanswered,But in time your tears run dry; Only God holds all the answers,We don't need to know "just why."



We will miss you lee. you will always be remembered and in our hearts!

So many will desperately miss your presence. I will hold you in my prayers every nite. Tell Jimmy and Angie up there I'm still here fighting this world full of satan and one day when God's ready for me, I'll be with yall. Check out for my nephew Bubba,

I know he'd love a friend like you up there.

Mike, Jimmie, lil Jimmie, and Joshua,



First, my prayers are with all of you in this time of loss. Things will be hard for awhile without Lisa..but each of you know what she wanted most... for all of you to be " a family unit." My wife(Shanna) and Lisa were good friends... And I often heard them share their desires for their children and family. And raising her sons to be good, strong men was her number one desire. It takes everyones love and care to make this happen..but most of all it will take the love and care of two people (Mike and Big Jimmie) to make her desires and dreams for the boys to come true. Lisa was a strong, loving and dedicated women. Dedicated to her friends, her job and most of all to each of you and to her boys.

Be strong my brothers, be blessed.

Lisa,

As hard as everything has been for the past month, I know you will guide us all day by day. As much hurt as everyone has that you are gone, I would like people to think when they think of the short time you were here ( March 9,1973-April 8,2005) not to look so hard at the short years, but the dash in between the years. That dash represents all the time that you were here on earth, and we all know how much that little line was worth! I am having my baby soon, and I will fulfill all the promises I made to you. I have the prayer card you gave me in the bag ready for the hospital. I wish you were here to see him. Lisa, you were an Angel on earth, and will be a Saint in heaven!

I only knew you through my sister Dee and Jimmy. Our thoughts and prayers are with Lisa's family. Lisa will be missed by the many she has touched and has left a special place in many hearts.



Little Jimmy and Joshua will miss her dearly.



Lisa's death has taught us a lesson. Live and Love the ones dear to you NOW - Life is to short -there may be no tomorrow.



GOD BLESS LISA AND HER FAMILY

It all seem so unreal. Even though we all know that one day we will travel down this same path, death is still hard to accept. It takes some of us longer than others, but eventually we do manage to go on. The pain will gradually fad away. Then we can talk about and share the good times and memories that we had with Lisa. To Mike and the boys be blessed in knowing that Lisa was a good person. It was her desire to help all that presented themselves before her and that she did. She will be missed greatly for her kind ways and her sensitive heart. Remember God knows best and he allowed Lisa to pass our way, even if for only a short time for a reason. She has been able to change the lives of many in a positive way. We thank God that he has allowed Lisa to pass our way. Our prayers are with you Mike and the boys.

Mimosa Monday won't be the same this

I knew Mrs Lisa for about a year and it was a beautiful year if i must say so myself. She knew how to brighten your day when you were down. The smile she had alone was enough. I know she took pride in everything she did. I will miss her and so will many others, we love you Mrs lisa. My prayers go out to her family and to everyone else who she touched.

I will truely, deeply miss my friend, my buddy, my pal.. I thank God for allowing me to have Lisa as a friend and coworker. Although my heart is broken because I won't see Lisa's big "brown eyes" anymore..I find comfort in knowing she is in heaven resting in "PEACE". Her Life was so well-lived. She was blessed by God and she shared those blessing with all who knew her. A life well-lived is a legacy of joy and pride .

Thank you God for Lisa, thank you for blessing me with such a wonderful and loving friend... Take your rest my friend, all will be ok down here..you are in a better place now...free of worry, free of pain and sickness. We all will be ok because you will be in heaven watching over us --Helping us and telling us what to do from up there ..._hahahahaa.

"Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8.

Oh Lisa,

I can remember all the memories from way back, you just 17 yrs old coming to work at the credit union. I took such a close likeness to you. The things we shared, the times spent, the fun , the laughter,so many things about you that will always be in my heart. Even as time moved on and we didn't see as much as one another, you and I had a special place in our hearts. Some friendships never die and for us this one never will. I know as hard as it is to accept that you are with the Lord with no more fears, and no more sorrows. I miss and Love you Lisa. I will watch over Lil Jimmie and try as much as I can to guide Big Jimmie. Bless MIKE and Josh.Bless your Mom. You were such an Angel on earth and now an ANGEL in God's HAnds. Watch over Lee and Guide your LOVE ONES.

LIVE FOR TODAY FOR TOMMORROW MAY NOT BE/LOVE/LIFE/AND LAUGHTER/LOVE,DEE

I'm one of the many CCU nurses at EJGH who took care of Lisa. I wish only hope, happiness and health for Lisa's children and husband. Many prayers and wishes for recovery and reconciliation. Lisa touched my heart like no other patient had. She put me in touch with the fragility of life....and for that, Lisa, I thank you.

I am blessed to say that I know Lisa as a co-worker and a friend, while we travel on this journey called life.

"As I travel down the paths of life, I long for the journey's end. For my destination is with my Savior, Resting in the arms of my Best Friend."

I am comforted to know that Lisa has embraced her savior and that through Christ we will see her again. May her husband and sons be trully comforted during this time, and know that you are not alone on this journey.

Respectfully, Crystal

I have only met Lisa a couple of times through Enterprise Car Sales but I will always remember her kindness. She was always willing to help out with anything she could. Lisa's family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Lisa was one of the first Credit Union Employees that I met when I started working here back in '99. I was in high school at the time, and Lisa gave me a ride home some days after work. She was open and honest, and loved her life right up until the end. Lisa was a hard worker and she cherished her two boys very much. She did all she could do and more for every member she served. And, she valued all of her co-workers and treated us just like family. I can't wait to see Lisa again in the loving arms of Jesus! This unexpected loss has made all of us think of how we can live each day like it is our last. Even in death Lisa has taught us a valuable lesson. We all love Lisa & are looking forward to seeing her again in heaven.

I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT LISA WILL TRULY BE MISSED BY HER FAMILY,FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS HERE @ JPEFCU IT'S SAD TO KNOW THAT SHE DID LEAVE SO SOON AND SUDDEN BUT SHE WAS TRULY LOVED BY HER CO-WORKERS AND WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY EVERYONE AND THE FAMILY IS TRULY IN OUR PRAYERS.

We, loved and appreciated Lisa for all that she has done, and I know that others do as well. If love could have kept her here. She would still be with us. But God loved her best so he called her home. We are truly going to miss her. But through her kind unselfish acts, she will continue to live on in our hearts. Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning. We will continue to keep the family in our prayers.

I had not worked with Lisa for very long, but I knew she was special from the beginning. Lisa was always smiling. We are all going to miss her. You can be assured that Lisa will never be forgotten.

Lisa, a manager, a friend and a very noble person. I moved out of town and had to job shop. When I went on my present job interview, the branch manager asked me, "What do you look for and want out of a manager?" I said, "Lisa". He laughed and I explained that Lisa was currently my manager and that if I could have taken her with me to any job I went to I would have. She was the best manager that anyone could ask for, I have ever had and will ever have. Lisa will hold a very special place in my heart and I will carry that with me forever. I will miss Lisa's smile, her laughter and her charisma. Jimmie and Joshua, be strong in all things you do, your mother would have wanted it that way. My prayers are with all of Lisa's family and friends. Everything happens for a reason and God only picks the most beautiful flowers for his garden and Lisa was one of those beautiful flowers.

My thought's and prayer's are with Lisa's entire family. All you have to do is walk into Lisa's office and you see what is important to her. Her picture's of her family tell you of the love she had for them. Lisa is truly a person who has touched the lives of many. Lisa was always trying to help others that she met. If they needed food, clothes, money, anything, if it was in her power to get it for them, she would. Lisa was there for her friends and family when they needed a hand. She took so much pride in her work and was always looking for ways to grow and was proud of what she had become. I remember an employee who resinged recently, when she left said she told her future employer, "If she could have taken her Manager (Lisa) with her she would have", she loved Lisa so much.

I remember when we worked together at the EJ Branch, she was carrying Little Jimmy and like Stephanie said she was always hungry.. and she had an excuse to eat.. she was Mikey at the Credit Union, you would say "Give it to Mikey" but she difinately didn't show it.. Lisa is a beautiful person.. She was so proud when she bought her home in St. Rose and brought Little Jimmy home and then Joshua...Lisa was a wonderful mother, wife and freind and we all miss her sooo much! Everyday when you walk in the office, the first thing you see is Lisa's office and the beautiful pictures of her and her family... the bond she had with them shows.. Our office just isn't the same, we feel like she is just on vacation and will be coming back but she will always be in our hearts and memories forever. We love you Lisa.. God Bless you and your family!

Lisa, I am going to miss you so much! It's incredible how time has flown by! 17 years?!? When I look back at the way we were and how much we have grown! You are amazing! You took all that life threw at you and kept on growing stronger! I would watch you when you spoke to all kinds of people and you were so open, friendly, smart, and intelligent and I was so impressed by that! Everyone always responded to you with a smile and that was your gift to us as well as your beautiful children. I will always remember you. Love you!

Cool Beans!!



Love,

It still doesn't seem real that Lisa has passed away. Lisa will be missed dearly by me and i'm sure many, many other friends and family.

Surely she is in much better place than down here where we are. God has taken his angle to serve and be with him, so to joshua, lil jimmie and mike know that lisa will still be taking care of you just from an easier and better place.(HEAVEN)!

Lee,



What am I going to do w/o you in my life. My 7:15am call M-F, our minumum 5 calls to each other a day. The parties, chuck-e-cheese, the bbq's our girl talk for hours, the camping trips, swapping clothes and I can go on and on.

When I was sick you, Lynda and PJ taught David and I what true friends are. Especicially when I was so sick I would beg you and Lynda to go home cause I was embarrassed for yall to see me so sick and you would go across the street and put your pj's on and climb in bed w/me and say you were there w/me for the duration. You and Lynda are the best friends a person could have.

There is not a thlng I can do from opening up the closet & refridgerator to everything in between that doesn't make me think of you. I keep trying to convience myself you are just on a credit union trip, but even then you called me a few times a day, so en that isn't working. Lisa how am I suppose to go on w/o you here? I love and miss you so much, we were each others confidants, neighbors , best friends (or my more my little sister) even our boys are best friends, I miss you so much!!!

I still have Doodie everyday and yes I am trying not to break your rules; fruit & yogurt snacks, no more than 1 coke a day, koolaid the rest and when I have him overnight he gets his bath at 7:30pm and bedtime at 8:30pm. I won't break your rules w/Jimmy cause I would feel like I am deceiving you, and I can't do that. Well I could go on forever but I decided to keep a journal to communicate w/you. Poor Lynda, she's going to tell me where to go after I drive her nuts since she's all I got left. After she moved you and I promised never to leave each other, but I know this was not in your control but God's will, call me selfish but I want you back.

Will Love and Miss you Forever!!!!!! I won't say goodbye just see ya later.



LOVE YA DONNA

Lisa was a close childhood friend of mine since the second grade. We lost touch with one another about ten years ago. I was deeply saddened today when I heard of her passing. My prayers are with her family. May God be with her boys, her husband, and Sandy.

Pam Hyde

In the short time I have known Lisa, I saw her as a person who took pride in everything she did. She took pride in her work at the Credit Union, and was also proud of her family. Lisa found great joy in the simple things in her life, whether it was the smiles on the faces of all of her boys, a family photo, or helping others. Her family brought her the greatest joy in her life. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mike, Jimmy & Josh, and to the rest of us who love her. She will be greatly missed.

Lynda Stevens

As Lisa's friend, neighbor and sister-in-law I would like to Thank all the CCU nurses, Select Specialty staff and River Region Hospice staff for the excellent care that you gave Lisa throughout her stay with you. Also the supportive care for Lisa's husband and children was wonderful. As her caregivers you have all learned through the many people that she has touched in her life how wonderful a person she was, both inside and out. We all have wonderful memories of Lisa in which we will all carry in our hearts forever. Words cannot express this huge loss we have had. She will be gone but not forgotten. She is truly an angel now. Lisa we love you!

Lisa will be greatly missed by all of us @ Jeff. Parish. She was a wondrful, kind-hearted and beautiful person, inside and out. If it were not for her, I would not have gotten my car loan. Everytime I'm in my car, I will remember her graciousness and hard work in getting my loan approved. She was such a special person, I hold her dear in my heart.



My prayers are with her family, friends and her co-workers in the Credit Union.

I knew Lisa, like many people, through the credit union. She was a kind, considerate young woman, always willing to help. I am so sorry that she left this earth at such a young age. I know she is now an angel in heaven, but she will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
