I think of Lisa most when I'm at Loch Lomond Lake, where we shared many days walking a country road in flip-flops, floating out on the lake, swimming and laughing. My childhood summers centered on Lisa's visits, our special friendship that continued through many years and was rekindled just a few years before she died. I will always remember her sense of humor and her smile. I will always miss her.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Lisas family...I too went to high school with her and felt very sad when I saw the listing in the paper..from what I have read she was a wonderful person and I have no doubt..she was always very friendly and her smile contagious.

How can words express the loss of a dear friend? ...Memories of childhood summers shared beside a shimmering lake, echoes of laughter, sharing dreams & hopes & sorrows...Lisa was one of those rare finds - a kindred spirit with a sense of humour, a quick wit and a contagious smile...she always saw the best in everyone and refused to give in to negativity. She will always be an inspiration for her remarkable courage & optimism. I will always see her spirit in everything beautiful - gardens, sunsets, sparkling water & rolling hills...Lisa, you are a part of it all now.

Lisa was my dear friend and truly an inspiration. Brought together by work, she was such a special part of my life. Her keen sense of humor, caring guidance, and strong spirit truly made this world a better place for all of us. I send love, peace and grace to the entire family, especially Bill, her life love, and beautiful Lucy, truly the bringer of light. Lisa's spirit is forever alive in my heart. God bless you all.
