To the family of Lisa Marie Morris (Acuna),
I was just informed that Lisa just recently passed away and this is very sad to hear. I worked with her many years ago at TMC and remember what a kind person she was. I also remember the challenges she faced with her medical condition. I really appreciated working with her and always felt she had a heart of gold when it came to taking care of patients.

Dearest Lisa, You are a bright and shining spirit who will remain our lives and sights and hearts.
