I am so sorry to read the passing of Lisa. I worked with her back in the 80's at the Food Lion Store 50#. She was one of my Dearest Friends,Lisa was also my Maid of Honor in my wedding. Even though we lost contact through the years,to know she passed at such an early age is heart breaking. I know that she was a Christian and I know where her HOME is now with No Pain. Please know that the family is in my prayers and thoughts. In God's Love, Joan Horton Vickers
