I have just learned in late 2024 of Lisa's passing and shocked and so pained. I knew Lisa for many years and think of her almost each day. I am so sorry for Dr Bass and Marie Bass and their family. Lisa was such a wonderful, full of life person....and I miss her so much. Now even more. I am so surprised to learn of Lisa's passing and speechless.

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.
