Lisa was such a fun, great person. I'm so sorry she is no longer with us. I wish she hadn't been through so much in the past couple of years, she didn't deserve it. She will be greatly missed.

Lisa seems like a very nice person. The bible promises a future in which loved ones sleeping in death will awake healthy again (John 5:28, 29). I also can make a donation to Tacoma Humane Society....dlc
