To the Travers family, please accept my heartfelt sympathy at your loss. I am sitting here at my desk with many thoughts and memories of Lisa. She was a joy to work with and someone who easily extended her hand to others. May your family find some measure of peace in the coming days.

I attended Marana High School with Lisa, she was so easy going and such a nice person. She never had a bad thing to say about anyone. This is such a tragedy for the family and her friends. God bless the Travers family

Lisa came into my life when she bought her first home. She was excellent to work with and it was more like hanging out with a friend than 'work'. My heart and dearest thoughts go out to her family.

May God bless your entire family during this difficult time. Lisa was a beautiful person and now a beautiful angel! I'm sure she's just "Peachy!" (as she would always say) up above!! In thoughts and Prayers....

Lisa was my training supervisor's assistant when I started in TPD Records some 6+ years ago. She always had a quick smile and encouraged us with teasing and laughter. She made a sometimes tedious situation more interesting and a lot more fun. I wasn't there the day she brought in her pet snake, but the fact that she even HAD a SNAKE as a pet always amused me...she was never boring. Her effervescent personality created a wonderful work environment while she was in Records. She has even changed my vocabulary somewhat with her 'cool beans' response...I find myself using it, or at least thinking it, on a regular basis. The wonderful qualities that Lisa shared with all of us will be missed in this world. SHE will be missed by many, but we are all thankful that she graced our lives if only for a short time. May God bless you and ease your pain.

Lisa was a special person. I could never tell if she was serious or kidding. She got me through my first Penlink attempt, and helped me with mapping. She was a great person and friend, and there is a huge void in the lives of all who knew her. Lisa, the bunny will never sing again. Love you, cork

Lisa was my roomate at FLEAT14 school at DEA in Quantico. We had such a good time. She was with me when we went to DC, only to come back to the train station and find the tires on my Jeep cut. Lisa offered her AAA card to have it towed. I would call her sometimes for help on different cases and she would always know it was me, just by my voice. I am so sorry for your loss, and I have been blessed to have known her. Sincerely Daralyn "RED" Troutt

I met Lisa while in training for a records clerk at the Police department. She was so knowledgeable and helpful and truly helped me get through it. She had such an outgoing personality and was always so friendly. Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. She will be greatly missed. May God comfort you.

My heart is heavy that such an awesome person has been taken from this Earth. But God knows what He is doing & Lisa must be needed for greater things. I'll always remember her cool rings she wore & her nails that were neatly done. (And also for her slick salsa moves!) I'll miss you Lisa.

Lisa was a great person and friend! I talked to her just a few weeks ago and she was so excited about becoming a Godmother. I also remember her love for dancing. She had a beautiful spirit and will be missed!
