It has taken me some time to try to enter something here that would be somewhat meaningful to all of us who loved Lisa. I came across this short poem which speaks volumes in my opinion and may help lessen the grieving of her entire family and loved ones.
"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, LOVE leaves a memory no one can steal."
Until we see you again, Lisa, know you will be missed tremendously.
Love, Tom McGrath

At the beginning of June, I went in to get some dental work at Dr. Gagne's and inquired about Lisa since she was not there. They said she was on a leave of absence. When I went back to the office today 6/29, I learned from Dr. Gagne himself that Lisa had passed. My heart was broken for she was such a bright light in the office. She was energetic and full of life and joy. I will always remember her with a smile on her face and able to bring a smile to mine.
My heart goes out to her whole family. My prayers are with you all. God bless you and comfort you.

Anthony,
I missed you in class today and was very sad to hear about your mother passing. Although I didn't have the honor to meet her, I am sure she was an extraordinary human being; otherwise, how could I explain the beautiful person that you are? Hold tight to her memories for comfort and strength so that you could continue bringing pride to your loved ones. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please, let me know if I could be of any help to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Breanne Bisceglia

Anthony this is something I came across, I love you guys!
Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me
Don`t worry 'bout me
Love,
Breanne.

My heart is heavy and my love goes out to all of Lisa's family. Though, I haven't seen Lisa in years, I know how special she was to all who knew her. I can still see her vibrant smile and her her great laugh. She was such a joy to be around and was a beautiful person, inside and out. They say "To live in the hearts of those who loved us is never to die"...well, Lisa will certainly live forever in many people's hearts.
God bless all of you in your time of sorry...my heart and prayers are with you. God speed Lisa...keep smiling!

Wow, I had no idea. So sorry to hear of this news. I always felt comfortable with Lisa and family...all good people. I know there has long been a shortage of such beautiful, kind souls on earth so I calculate there is a similar shortage in the other energy-space. Her children should not fear anything. Lisa will have more power now. Take time to listen to the rhythm.
My sincere condolences,
