I met Lisa back in 1995 when I clerked for Judge Whetstone, and we spent a lot of time at the Orangeburg courthouse. I will never forget her great attitude and great energy. One thing was clear: she dearly loved her husband & girls! Y'all were almost all she talked about! May God bless you. I know you will miss her so much. Lisa made the world a better place. I was really sad to hear the news.
