To the Family of Lisa Molnar,

I was devastated to hear about your loss, I worked with Lisa for quite a few years at Cocalico High School and she was absolutely wonderful. Taylor, we've met a few times when your mom brought you in to the school over summer break and you came down to the Counseling Office to help my little Kyrstin cut out the names to make the big sun! ;-) I am so very sorry for your loss and want you all to know that you are in my prayers.

Taylor and family...Taylor, I still can't believe your mother came to pick you up at our house not even three weeks before her passing. I'll never forget her smiling face and warm personality on that day. It is so uncanny how as soon as she walked into our house she looked so familiar to me and in talking we realized we both had worked for American Bank/Meridian Bank during the same time period. I was expecting to see more of your mom since you and Natalie have become friends. So, I can't begin to tell you how shocked I was while obtaining information on line for my uncle who had passed away the day before when I saw your mother's smiling face looking back at me. I am so sorry for your loss and if you ever need anything, please never hesitate to call me. I hope you will be visiting us again soon.
Love, The Konowal Family

P.S. I will never forget your mother since I know we share the same birthday.

To all of Lisa's Family, I was so shocked to hear of Lisa's passing, she was a fun, loving, and great person to be around. Lisa & I met way back when the bank we both worked at was then Meridian Bank. Lisa was on my team as CS Rep's. We always had nice talks, laughter, & made work as fun as possible. That is where I first met Lisa, I am so sorry, I will always have Lisa in my heart, she was special. Mr heart goes out to you, & your in our prayers. God Bless.

Dave, Jonathon and Taylor,

Lisa was a co-worker of mine at Cocalico. She was such a special person--so fun loving and kind. She was caring and always concerned about others. Her smile lit up the office when you walked through the door. She was a member of our CHS family who will be sorely missed more than words can say.

She loved her family more than anything and spoke of you all on a daily basis. Jonathon and Taylor, always remember that your mom loved you so much!!! She was SO proud of both of you!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very sad and difficult time. Lisa will be remembered always and missed by all who knew and loved her. Hold onto your memories. Always remember that she'll be with you forever--in your heart--for she is a part of you and will always be watching over you.

I remember being Lisa's dance partner in the Choreography group for the Wilson Spring Concert one year....I am not sure if that is a good memory for Lisa or not....I have lots of good memories in the Wilson Band. Her brother Eric was also in the band. Lisa and Eric's wife were in the bandfront in the Flag section. We all have to make sure we take the time to make good memories each and every day. When I think back to those days I always remember Lisa with a smile on her face. That's an significant impression she has left on the world. Our prayers go out to comfort the family because we know Lisa is finally pain free and in a better place. The world is a better place because of the impact that Lisa has had on all of us. Lisa we can not thank you enough and look forward to seeing you again when our time comes.

To Lisa's Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I went to school with Lisa and even though we only saw each other through the years in passing, whenever I saw her she always had a smile on her face. We would laugh about things and try to catch up about our lives. I know Dave and the children not only lost a great wife and mother but also a special friend. I am sure she will truly be missed.
May God Bless you all.
And to Lisa my friend may you rest in peace until we meet again.
Your friend,

Dave,
My deepest sympathy to you and the kids. I was so shocked to hear about Lisa. I was thinking back to your wedding (and how I fainted and thought I ruined your special day) and how you two would take me for ice cream. I am so sorry Dave. Just remember that she is always with you and is your guardian angel.

God Bless,
Amy(your flower girl)

Words can not tell you how sorry I am to hear of your loss. You do not know me but I am Allisa Wooleyhand's mother. I hope you all find comfort in knowing that she is an angel looking over you and your family. May God Bless you.

To Lisa's family,

How extremely upsetting it is to hear of Lisa's passing. She was a very loving person and although we lost touch over the years, I thought of her often. When she and I worked together at the bank we shared many, many laughs. She was a very warm and kind hearted person who always talked about her children and family. There will always be a special place in my heart filled with her memories.

Please know that my prayers are with the family and if there is anything that I can do, please let me know.

Lisa ... a cheerleading Mom, a friendly voice calling me to substitute at Cocalico High School. As parents, we spent time together watching cheerleading practices and games where our daugahters cheered on the Conrad Weiser team. Then we were both surprised when we met "at work" at Cocalico High School -- you as the one to whom substitutes report and me as a sub. I miss you already, my friend.
