Sweet Lisa! Although we only saw each other occasionally, she always had a kind word, a smile and a hug for me! II Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

April 2, 2016

Our prayers go out to Lisa's family during this difficult time.
Take solace in knowing she is with her Heavenly Father and will always be in your hearts.
