Life is a dance and I am certain that Lisa had a full card. I remember her from years ago in school and at church where we met. I will be praying that because her life touched so many that those left will be comforted in having known her in this part of life's journey. God bless you and keep you and may His peace fill your hearts with unconditional love.

Ryan, Cory, and Megan,
I was so sad to hear about your mom. I found out too late to attend the calling hours. All three of you have lost your biggest cheerleader. Your mom called me all of the time to make sure that you were doing what you were supposed to do. Cory, especially you! She always talked about how bright you were, and how you did not worry about school, she worried for you!

You were one of the best families to graduate from GHS while I have been there! Please stop in if there is ever anything I can do anything for any of you!

Your mom always asked me how I was doing, I don't have too many parents who do that! I will always remember her smile! She will live forever in you!

Not even sure what to say at this point.

Your mother/daughter was a wonderful, caring, loving person whom we admired a great deal.

She would do anything for you and not even expect anything in return.

Remember the good times and know she loved each and everyone of you dearly.

Your friends and long-time neighbors,

Steve, Jona, Brittany, Julie and Phillip.
