Tim:

I'm so sorry for your loss. Lisa was my dearest friend from The Hartford. We became friends instantly. We kept in touch even after I left The Hartford in 1996. She was always there when I needed her. I will never forget her and our special friendship. She truly was a one of a kind friend. My prayers are with you and may God be holding her in his loving arms.

I am so sorry for your loss. Lisa was a nice person. Always with a smile when we worked together. I loved her perfume, Odyssey. I am blessed that I got to see her again after many years not so long ago. Still smiling, still kind and still a friend. God bless the family at this time and I pray they find peace.

My friend, we first met when you joined my bowling league. I will never forget our friendship, along with our annual bowling trips and karaoke nights. There isn't one bowling trip without a funny story being told about you. I never sang until you talked me into singing 'I Will Survive'. I will always remember our good times at Ship's Pub and Mom's. Playing poker will never be the same without you. They say only the good die young, and God has certainly chosen a good one. You are no longer in pain and now have your voice back. RIP my friend...as life here will not be the same without you.

My cousin, my friend. We've shared so many good times together, some of the best times of my life. I can still hear you laugh. I will cherish each memory & hold them close to my heart. You were one of the best people in my life & I loved you dearly. One of the few things that is bringing me peace since you passed is that you will be with my Mom. I'll never forget how good you were to her, as you were to so many. You touched so many lives and I will miss u forever. Love, Cousin Joycie
