To Lisa's family -- I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I was surprised to learn of Lisa's passing. I work at Steptoe & Johnson, where Lisa worked several years ago. Although I did not know her well, I remember she had a wonderful spirit and sense of humor. I'm sure you miss her very much. May God bless you.

To the family of Lisa Packheiser -
I'm so very sorry for your extraordinary loss. I found your Lisa to be an absolute joy to work with. She was exceptionally sensitive to the feelings of others and was always available and willing to help with whatever needed doing. She approached all her work with enthusiasm and hoped to please everyone she worked with. I wanted you to know that I share in your grief. My daughter is a nurse at the Arlington Hospice where Lisa was; and while she did not work at the in-patient center (she does triage in a separate office there), she knows the nurses at the center and felt that you would be comforted knowing that Lisa would have been made as comfortable as modern medicine would allow during her time there. God bless you as you struggle with this unimaginable loss after having lost your son just 6 years ago. Things are not supposed to happen this way, but God has a plan and sometimes we just need to have faith.
Sincerely,
Jeanette Daluisio

Mr. & Mrs. Packheiser & family, I am truly sorry to hear of Lisa's passing. She was a beautiful person full of life and love. Just know she's in a better place where she's not in pain only comfort and peace. She's smiling down on her family saying: I sought the Lord and he answered me now I'm free of all pain. God bless you all. Former coworker

Mr. & Mrs. Packheiser, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May the Lord give you peace and caress you both within his arms. He is always within your reach, all you have to do is reach up and call him. Although there is darkness in your view, be assured that there is a light that is shining above all others - it's Lisa. She is with the Lord and all is well. Bless you, both.
