Dear Abby,
I know there is nothing that I can say to alleviate the sorrow you feel now. Still, know that you are loved immensely, and that Lisa was the key in making that possible - who you are today.
I cannot tell you that things are meant to be, I don't understand, but if nothing else, you love her, she loved you, and in some way you are her extension - that lives and is full of what is needed to make this a better world.
All my love and I hope that you and your family will have the peace/faith needed at this time.

Dear Bair Family,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of this beautiful lady. She was part of the team that worked in my grandson Jayden's classroom at Lawnview. God truly blessed all those that knew her or had an opportunity to come in contact with her. Her heart truly shined through when given the opportunity to speak with her. My prayers are that God will grant you the peace and comfort during this difficult time.
May He bless you now and always.
