I met Lisa when I was 15 years old. I will never forget the first time our eyes met. If love at first sight exists, that was it! She was like a dream to me. We started dating but due to an age difference we only spent a few weeks together. As the years passed we would stay in contact but timing was never right. There was always some obstacle it seemed. Life went on but not a day went by without my thinking of her. She was such a wonderful person and I can not believe she is gone. Though years have gone by, I just found out of her passing today. My deepest sympathy to her sister Debbie, her family and to all those who knew and loved her. Lisa, you will be missed! I will always cherrish our time together, though much too short it was. I will always love you!

Debbi,
At this point in your life, you have endured more heartache than most. My heart goes out to you. Lisa, you and I played together as kids long before we were of kindergarten age. I have such wonderful memories of growing up with the two of you. I will certainly miss her smile and sense of humor. I am here if you need anything at all and I mean that sincerely my friend. Much love, Nance xo

There are no words to describe how profoundly Lisa's passing has changed our lives. She was as lovely inside as she was on the outside, kind hearted, funny and so very genuine. Lisa was one of a kind, and I feel so lucky to have known her. We miss her every day.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Lisa's passing. We were classmates at NQHS and we might have been in a class or two together but not really close at the time. However, some years down the road after graduation Lisa moved into an apartment next door to my parents house in Quincy and we became re-acquainted again. She was always freindly and always smiling and my parents loved having her as a neighbor. Just thinking back to the times we sat in the back yard talking, relaxing and working on our tans brings a smile to my face. Hopefully knowing what a wonderful person Lisa was will help your family through this tough time.

I came to know Lisa when she first became a court reporter for the Comm of Mass and I did some typing for her. I would sit and talk with her on the phone nonstop, always laughing and just enjoying sharing her life with her. I never did get to meet her personally and I so wish I had. We shared our love of animals, doggies in particular. It was with a very heavy heart that I learned of her passing. She will truly be missed. My sympathies to her family.

Caroline Norton

This is hard I worked with Lisa, Phil and Joe in the early 80's at Napoli Wrecking I loved working with her she made it lively there.

For Lisa's family May God give you strength to get through this.

You will be sadly missed. You had a special way of making me laugh in court right in the thick of things! And because of our last name everyone always got our lives mixed up which always gave us a good laugh. God Bless you Lisa... I truly hope that you are in a happier place.

I met Lisa on myspace and she was a beautiful person inside and out - her efforts to help victims of inhumanity in the Middle East were unsurpassed. The world will miss Lisa Napolitano and I will miss her kind and loving presence on myspace.
