I remember Lisette from working together many years ago at SFGH. I was very sad to find out that she is not with us any more. I would like to express my sympathy to Lisette's family and friends. Sincerely Irina Volkov

Lissett you were a great friend and i always enjoyed our chats carpooling to work . After all the years of being friends you were always there to listen to me even if i would be texting you in the middle of the night . You were a good mother to your kids and supported them with their life decisions no matter how tough you were fighting for your own life . I also thank you for inviting me to your graduation when you achieved your dream of becoming a register nurse .... i know this was a very important day in your life . You will be in my prayers and i will miss you very much . Bye my dear friend !!!
