To Lisa's family and loved ones: My family has loved Lisa since the day she was born. I cherish childhood memories of playing with her, Michelle,and my younger sister. (Tommy and Tempie were too young or not born yet.) Lisa's sparkling smile, compassinate heart, and adventurous spirit will forever be for me the images that embody her time with us. May you be comforted by knowing so many people were touched by her life.
