SO terribly sad to find this obituary. I have been searching for many years to find the family. It has been 40 years since I saw you all. Lisa was a daily joy in my life while I spent time with you. I will never forget her sweet smile and kindness as I struggled with all the changes in my life. I will be forever grateful to her and to your family. I have tried on numerous occasions to contact you. My love, gratitude and sympathies to you all.

Dear Steve,

I am so sorry for your loss. Dave and I think about you and your family from time to time and wonder what you are up to. What a shock to discover your loss. Lisa was such a sweet girl and loving young mother. It has been many years since we have seen or talked to you, but know that you are in our thoughts.

Dear Grove and Samuelsen Family,

I knew Lisa a long time ago when I worked at the Golden Corral in York. I remember her bubbly personality and beautiful smile. I pray that God will help all of you to find peace in your time of loss. John, Terry and JF you were always some of my favorite customers at Golden Corral. Please know that I am praying for you and your family in your time of loss.

I'm thinking of Lisa today, knowing her funeral is being held somewhere in a faraway place.

I first met Lisa when she and her family were members of our ward in Murray, Utah. She was such a delight and always made me laugh! I remember when she taught me how to grab tissue paper with a flourish before putting it into a gift bag. Doing so always makes it look perfect, and I think of her fondly to this day everytime I do it. My thoughts and prayers are with Steve and the rest of her family. Much love,

Dear Grove and Samuelsen Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I was a few years older than Lisa, but once in a while our paths would cross...and when they did I found her to be delightful company. I enjoyed her laughter. I pray that the Lord's choicest blessings will be with all of you at this time. Words cannot express my sorrow to you at this time. Love, Julie Bair Haertsch

We will miss her laughter the most. Lisa was one of the funniest people we knew. Countless hours were spent just cracking each other up during our trips to Utah, NYC, YCDS productions & just hanging out on the couch. We will & have always treasured those memories. Lisa was such a fabulous influence on Luke. She has a huge part in the man he is today.
We will be forever grateful to you guys & our dear Lisa.
We love u. Take good care of each other.

Lisa is a member of an indescribably beloved family. She has touched so many lives around the world, there is no way to count them all; yet I know that Lisa remembers everyone she has met and counts us all as her family.

Ken and I are so sad that we can't be there with you as you remember her and honor her life. Love to you all.

John, Terry, JF, and Lisa's husband and children, I am so sad to hear of Lisa's passing. I was one of her babysitters and neighbor when the family lived in York on Alwine ave. She was such a beautiful girl. I have the fondest of memories of Lisa and JF. I am praying for you all that you will be comforted by our wonderful heavenly Father!!! Bless you all!!!

My sincere condolences to John, Terry and family, as well as, Lisa's husband and children. Lisa was one of my best friends growing up in the York area. I was glad to have had the chance to visit with her just a little over a year ago after 31 years. I wish I could come home for her funeral, but will have to be content with paying my respect in other ways. May the Lord be with the Grove/Samuelsen family at this time.

Dear Samuelson Family,
We are so sad to hear of the loss of your sweet mother and wife. Our hearts ache for you. I worked with Lisa in YW's while she lived in Murray and you were kind enough to sell your home to us when you moved. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, John & Stacie Thornton

Dear Steve, Clayson and Tessa:
While Lisa is no longer with us on this earth, take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you all. Your mother loved each of you so totally, she wanted nothing more than your happiness and success. During this difficult time, remember the happy adventures you shared as a family and how many wonderful oppotunities and shared memories you have together. Know that I hold you all in my heart and send my love to you.

March 11, 2013

Dearest family,
Our hearts are very full and tender with the passing of Lisa. She gave so much of herself to everyone she knew. She was an important part of the Shakespeare family here in Utah. We are forever richer in spirit having known her. Our love and prayers go to everyone in the Grove-Samuelson family. God speed!

Lisa had a laugh that I will never forget. One of my favorite memories with Lisa is when she picked me up in her alpha romeo. She knew I loved cars and made the trip from her house to mine and we went driving for about an afternoon. During the ride a Prince song came on and she made a cute joke about it being a satanic song. We laughed and laughed. I am so sad she is gone.
