You will never be forgotten, Lisa. Please look down on your family and hold them in your loving arms. Especially those beautiful babies. I had the chance to meet them at your memorial on friday and the are so beautiful. Keep them safe.

I met Lisa when we were both teaching preschool, and fell in love with her bubbly personality. I wished her well when she left, and was happy to hear she had married. When my son died 2 years ago, Lisa reached out to me. I was happy to be in touch with her again, even if it were just reading posts on her facebook. I will hold Lisa's family and friends in my prayers. And Lisa, when you find Alex and Tori, give them both a hug from me.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
~Mary Frye

Lisa- Your amazing spirit, love of life, and infectious smile will never fade in the hearts of those who knew you. May you rest in peace, my friend.

Lisa,
I can remember even in elementary school that you were always smiling and had so many friends. In high school, you were so outgoing and had so much going for you. It was good to reconnect through facebook later in life. I am sad to say that the connection was so short lived. I could tell that you really enjoyed every second of the life that that you and your husband created together. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace.

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rain fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again, May God hold
you in the hollow of his hand.
Lisa we will miss you.

Lisa was someone I knew from high school. She played Varsity Girls Soccer and I was fortunate enough to be the team manager my senior year, so I spent some time with her that entire season.

Always a sweet person, with such a sunny personality. Caught up with her again on Facebook sometime last year.

Gonna miss her very much. Lisa's memory, along with her family will be forever in my heart and thoughts...

I am still numb and in shock that we could lose such a wonderful, beautiful young woman. Lisa was a happy and inspiring woman. She always had a smile and kind word for everyone. I pray that God gives us all the comfort and understanding at this difficult time, because only HE knows why. I know she will watch over her children as they grow and develop into the people she helped nurture in the time she was here. She will truly be missed by everyone who knew her. We love you Lisa. R.I.P. Heartfelt condolences to the Worrell and O'Brien family.
