Dear Berry and McGinnis families,
Sending my love and condolences and sympathy on the loss of Lisa. As my dad would say "She was a good one!" I have very fond memories of parties at the Berry home before Alleman football games at Rocky and of Lisa being such a wonderful sister and aunt to all of the John McGinnis clan. Those kids all loved their aunt Lisa, and I know she will be deeply missed by so many family members and friends. She has definitely touched so many lives in the best way:) She was a wonderful person.
My heart goes out to you Bill, Mike, and Kelly. May you always feel her joyful loving spirit and cherish the memories that you have. Sending prayers for grace, strength, and comfort during this time.
